Abstract: Abstract Many parts of the world are currently experiencing the outcome of processes of economic integration, globalisation and transformation. Technological advances in telecommunications and in transport facilities have opened up new possibilities for contacts and exchanges among regions. Externality effects among regions have increased in importance. As a consequence, competition between regions has intensified, and the issue of regional competitiveness is now high on the agenda of regional politicians and policy-makers.
