Description

Many parts of the world are currently experiencing the outcome of processes of economic integration, globalization and transformation.

Technological advances in telecommunications and in transport facilities have opened up new possibilities for contracts and exchanges among regions.

External effects among regions have increased in importance.

As a result, competition among regions has intensified.

Except some pioneering work by regional scientists and scholars of public finance and economics, the phenomenon of regional competition has yet to attract the attention it warrants, despite its importance for policy-making.

The present volume is intended to remedy this neglect by providing high-level contributions to the three main topics of the book, the theory of regional competition, methods of analysis of regional competition and policies of regional competition.
