Regional collaboration is essential for economic recovery because regions are the centers of competition in the new global economy and those that work together to leverage resources and use their strengths to overcome weaknesses will fare better than those that do not.

I have integrated their concepts and ideas into a single coherent framework - a unique synthesis, which I will teach for the first time in this online course.
