by Boerje Johansson And Roger R. Stough Edited By Charlie Karlsson
Description
This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of current research on regional competition and co-operation.
Developing our current understanding of the new role of regions and their behaviour, this book addresses questions such as: How and why do regions compete?
How does competition between border regions operate?
Which regions are successful and which regions fail?
What are the implications of regional competition in terms of resource allocation, the location of economic activities and the distribution of incomes?
The book illuminates a number of critical theoretical end empirical issues relating to the competitive and cooperative nature of regions, as well as highlighting a number of new case studies from a variety of countries.
The book will be a useful enhancement to undergraduate and post-graduate courses in economics, economic geography, regional science, regional planning, business administration, and international and industrial management.
It will also be an invaluable guidance tool for researchers, consultants and policy makers in international organizations such as the EU, the World Bank and the OECD.
