The aim of this volume is to encourage comparative explorations of the links between economicregionalism and government behaviour. At present, the relation between government and the economy is in a state of flux. In the old developed world, supranational organizations such as the EU and theWTO, are exerting more influence over economic life. Simultaneously, regional governments have emerged to provide public servicesto local populations. In some European countries, economic decision making is no longer in the power of the nation state, but has been transfered to international and local organizations. The papers in this volume have been contributed by a broad range of policy makers,journalists,and academics. Theories of the public sector are reviewed, restructured and extended, in order to cover the new spatial and dynamic situation. The volume provides historical and institutional perspectives on the public sector, and presents empirical case studies of the public sectors inSweden, USA, Belgium, Malaysia, England and Singapore.
