Abstract

The social impact of ongoing economic globalization on cities and regions has become a matter of great interest for both local governments and civil society, specifically from the 1990s onward (Stöhr, 1990; Cox, 1997; Douglass and Friedmann, 1998; Edgington et al., 2001; Stöhr et al., 2001). The dynamics of globalization is often characterized by the magnitude of speed and geographical expansion of material and non-material flows transcending the boundaries of nation states (Castells, 1996). Thus, for cities and regions, how to take advantage of and/or cope with changes in external dynamics has recently been seen as a policy imperative. In particular, the opportunities and risks embedded in new global-local linkages are critical issues for ‘backward’ regions — that is, those in relative isolation from mainstream national politics and metropolitan markets.
