The Regional World

This volume proposes a theory of how regions have sustained their economic viability in the era of multinational corporations. Rather than analyzing economic systems in terms of their mechanics (such as inputs, outputs, prices and technology), this work views them as systems for co-ordinating human actions and relationships. Reconceptualizing the role of learning, technology and local institutions in development, Storper highlights the key role of regional economics as building blocks of the increasingly connected world.
