| Abstract: | The article opens with an extended commentary on the continued - and future - significance of regional development issues, even in a rapidly globalizing world economy. The bases of regional economic activity are analysed in terms of network structures of production, technology systems, local labour markets , and regional business cultures. A policy framework for approaching tasks of regional competitiveness is described , with special reference to first mover advantages, resource mobilization, problems of regional coordination, and institution building in general. A brief case-study of some actual policy responses to the economic crisis of Southern California in early 1990s is presented. |
