Opis

The steady globalization of economic activity over the last few decades has intensified the assertion of the region as a critical locus of economic order and as a potent foundation of competitive advantage. This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the economic logic and political meaning of such developments. It presents the economic geography of the modern world as an emerging global mosaic of regional systems of production and exchange.

Recenzje

The book is well written and well structured and provides a number of interesting insights on regional development, the development question for less developed countries and future governance in the context of this region-based world. The book would make very interesting reading for those involved in these issues, for business people and for policymakers in general.
