- Abstract
- Clusters are concentrations of businesses with highly specialized skills and knowledge with
an approach to economic development. This approach encourages behavior that is procompetitive
within institutions, rivals, related businesses and sophisticated customers so they
can work together within a particular nation or region as a tightly connected network. The
aim of this thesis is to create a deeper understanding for clusters as a field of research by
deconstructing literature within the field, through an analysis with postcolonial theory.

within institutions, rivals, related businesses and sophisticated customers so they

aim of this thesis is to create a deeper understanding for clusters as a field of research by
deconstructing literature within the field, through an analysis with postcolonial theory.
Furthermore, this paper aims to complement the existing field of research by examining
which ideological stance can be made visible within the cluster theory and how postcolonial
theory can counteract the cluster theory's ideological dominance. Our method has been a
literature analysis within a selective literature review, as it refers to a close research regarding
clusters and translating its literature.
This thesis has had a great focus on social and political constructions as a western philosophy
has been seen within the field of cluster. Which has made one of these thesis conclusions
visible, it refers to a clarification of an economic ideologic stance. As the analysis processed
the cluster theory, social and political effect has also been made visible and exemplified. It is
a matter of a dominance within the geographic space of the center/periphery, to create
competitiveness on the global market, where a collective understanding refers to power
configuration between them. The second conclusion refers to a demand for redistribution and
recognition for the economic ideological stance, this is to avoid its outcome within social and
political effects but also to be able to create a liberation process and contribute to new
perspective within the cluster theory. (Less)
