Abstract: Abstract In this book we have sketched the rudiments of a theoretical approach to global and regional economic competitiveness. We have done so in the context of a multidisciplinary approach to globalisation, regional economic development, and competitive strategy inside and outside of firms, industries, and regions. We have taken advantage of the explosion of literature on these topics over the past 10 to 15 years, noting where we agree and disagree with the dominant arguments currently expressed at the intersection between global economic integration and local economic change. We have been especially conscious of the literature in economic geography, but have also sought to recognise the relevant contributions from management studies, sociology and political economy. We have done so in order to address in a comprehensive way a vital intersection in economic life, one that promises to dominate everyday life through much of the 21st century.
