Özet: In this article, the reasons behind Denizli’s growth based on textile industry especially after the 1980s are evaluated in the framework of socio-economic conditions, such as macro economic developments, spatial proximity, production culture, knowledge accumulation, production networks and institutional structures, in a historical perspective. In the industrialization and the institutionalization of Denizli economy, the ups and downs of the production processes are evaluated through the initial, growth, maturation and crises phases. By using the evolutionary perspective, the progress of “success” that Denizli has caught with textile industry, the different reactions of local economic actors to radical changes in the socio-economic conjuncture, and the effect of these reactions to the future development of the region are questioned. In the conclusion, the role and the strategies of the local actors and entrepreneurs for sustaining the local economic development are discussed.
