Abstract

Metropolitan and rural regions around the world compete to attract enterprises (private companies, NGOs, parastatals, and government agencies) that offer wellpaying jobs. Economic globalization and new technologies make necessary, and at the same time make possible, new strategies for economic development (ED). Increasingly, these new strategies involve intraregional and inter-regional alliances.
