Regions and the World Economy or Accounting Principles

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

Author: Allen J Scott

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.
