<br/><br/> Accelerated trade and financial market liberalization have  had significant impacts on the global economy, and its  component entities. In this volume, the authors examine the  impacts of these changes on the economies of urban areas,  and the responses to them. They provide a comprehensive  treatment of the issues surrounding internationalization.
