Audretsch and Charles F. Bonser  present a view of Globalization and Regionalization that holds that  the interaction between a more open trading system and the new  telecommunications and computer technology has substantially increased  productivity and facilitated the fragmentation of the production  process. The fragmentation of the production process has resulted in a  new international organization of production. It has accelerated the  globalization of national economies and has allowed firms to take  advantage of low wages, wherever they are to be found, and, where  important, to locate production facilities close to their customers.  This expansion in international trade and production mobility has  resulted in new sources of gain that contribute to the new economy.  \u003cbr\u003e  In the second chapter of this volume, Alfred C. Aman, Jr. examines  whether globalization dictates new approaches to governance. The  process by which public policy in England has incorporated regional  government is the focus of Kenneth Spencer in Chapter 3. In the fourth  chapter Lawrence S. Davidson provides an analysis of the impact of  globalization on manufacturing in the US Midwest. In Chapter 5, John  W. Ryan shows how there is a dual role of universities in the global  economy. On the one hand, universities serve as institutions that  foster globalization and reduce the isolation of regions. On the other  hand, universities themselves are shaped and influenced by  globalization. David B. Audretsch and A. Roy Thurik, in Chapter 6,  show how globalization has led to the emergence of the strategic  management of regions. In Chapter 7, Jean-Pierre van Aubel and Frans  van Nispen examine the links between federalization and globalization  in the European context. The impact of globalization on regulatory  institutions is the focus of Montserrat Cuchillo in Chapter 8.  Finally, in Chapter 9, David Eaton examines the relationship between  global trade sovereignty and sub-national autonomy. \u003cbr\u003e  Taken together, these chapters provide a compelling view that public  policy must be considered in a new light in the global economy. Not  only does policy have to consider global implications, but also the  importance of local characteristics and regional strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792375524\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0867-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 120\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265661259916,"sku":"9780792375524","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792375524.jpg?v=1770788108","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792375524","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
