Abstract

Recently there has been somewhat of a consensus among economists, political scientists, planners and geographers regarding the enhanced potential of sub-national territories and their institutions to influence the activities of multinational companies. To varying degrees, political scientists have stressed the growing powers and resources assumed by sub-national institutions and organizations as these have been redistributed among multiple levels of governance (for example, Jessop, 1997; Marks et al, 1996; Ohmae, 1993). Geographers have recently re- emphasised the relevance of sub-national territories not merely as containers of economic activity but intrinsic to the very organization and accumulation of economic activity (Cox and Mair, 1991; Amin and Thrift, 1995; Storper, 1995).
