在我们进入21世纪之际，世界体系的一个重大变化是各国经济和主权国家日益开放和相互渗透。这种转变一方面与某些经济和政治职能逐步向多国和全球各级转移的开始有关;另一方面与加强次国家和区域一级经济和政治生活的相反趋势有关。这本书是对这些发展的经济逻辑和政治意义的广泛探索，特别提到了现代世界经济地理的重新概念化，作为一个新兴的全球生产和交换的区域系统马赛克。在过去几十年中，经济活动的稳步全球化加强了该地区作为经济秩序的关键所在地和竞争优势的有力基础的重新主张。作为一个必然结果，现代世界的许多区域也开始强烈地自我意识到自己是一个社会政治和经济实体，尤其是当它们越来越发现自己在跨越国界的竞争和合作关系中联系在一起时。这些趋势的新的政治动员的意义进行了探讨，并在新的世界秩序的民主和公民的实质性形式的潜在影响进行评估。
As we enter the twenty-first century, one of the dramatic shifts in the world system is the increasing openness and interpenetration of national economies and sovereign states. This shift is associated on the one hand with the beginnings of a progressive transfer of certain economic and political functions upward to the pluri-national and global levels; and on the other hand with a countervailing trend to the reinforcement of economic and political life at the sub national, regional level. This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the economic logic and political meaning of these developments, with special reference to a reconceptualisation of the economic geography of the modern world as an emerging global mosaic of regional systems of production and exchange. The steady globalisation of economic activity over the last few decades has intensified the re-assertion of the region as a critical locus of economic order and as a potent foundation of competitive advantage. As a corollary, many regions in the modern world are also beginning to acquire an intense self-consciousness of themselves as socio-political and economic entities, and all the more so as they increasingly find themselves bound together in both competitive and collaborative relationships across national borders. The significance of these tendencies for new kinds of political mobilisation is explored, and their potential impacts of substantive forms of democracy and citizenship in the new world order are assessed.
