Globalization, Institutions, and Regional Development in Europe

Explore the intricate dynamics of globalization and its impact on regional development in Europe with the insightful book Globalization, Institutions, and Regional Development in Europe by Oxford University Press. Published in 1995, this compelling paperback spans 282 pages and delves into the crucial question: will European regions succumb to global forces, or will a new localism pave the way for a Europe defined by its regions?

This thought-provoking work argues that neither extreme will dominate the future; instead, the prosperity of regions will hinge on their ability to implement flexible institutional strategies and effectively leverage the forces of globalization to their advantage. A must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of European regional development, this book provides a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
