Regions and the World Economy: The Coming Shape of Global Production, Competition, and Political Order - Hardcover
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.

Review:
`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.'
Ella Kavanagh. The Business Economist. Vol 29.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. One of the dramatic shifts that is occurring in the world system as we enter the twenty-first century is the increasing openness and interpenetration of national economies and sovereign states. This shift is associated on the one hand with the beginnings of a progressive transfer of certain economic and political functions upward to the plurinational and global levels; and on the other hand with a countervailing trend to the reinforcement of economic and politicallife at the subnational, regional level. This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the economic logic and political meaning of these developments, with special reference to areconceptualization of the economic geography of the modern world as an emerging global mosaic of regional systems of production and exchange. The steady globalization of economic activity over the last few decades has intensified the re-assertion of the region as a critical locus of economic order and as a potent foundation of competitive advantage. As a corollary, many regions in the modern world are also beginning to acquire an intense self-consciousness of themselves as socio-political andeconomic entities, and all the more so as they increasingly find themselves bound together in both competitive and collaborative relationships across national borders. The significance of thesetendencies for new kinds of political mobilization is explored, and their potential impacts of substantive forms of democracy and citizenship in the new world order are assessed. This book is a wide-ranging exploration of regions in the new world order. The author - one of the leading international figures in the field - explores the economic logic and political meaning of regions. Exploring developments from Silicon Valley to Hong Kong, he makes the case for the growing importance of regions as against the sovereign state in the `borderless world' of the 21st century.
