Abstract
This paper seeks to present a preliminary exploration of the theoretical basis of urban economic partnerships and to draw resulting lessons for their improvement. From an analytical perspective, can be argued that in order to fully understand the behaviour and policies of organisations involved in local economic development, it is necessary to consider their partnerships and the associated relationships with networks of other actors, including the flows of resources, power, and information within these networks.
