Regional economic policy and regionalism in the age of 'glocalization'

全球化是指全球化与地方化相互融合的过程，在这种动荡的环境下，工业化国家的区域经济政策发生了变化。欧盟区域政策一直处于主导地位，其目标不仅是缩小区域间的差距，而且是增强区域经济竞争力。这反映了21世纪初英国地区主义的渗透。地方主义在日本也被接受，但它只强调政府管理，忽视了经济和自治方面。

Regional economic policy within the industrialized countries has been changing under the turbulent circumstances called 'glocalization', which refers the blended process of globalization and localization. European Union has been leading the regional policy, which target not only to reduce disparities among regions but also to strengthen regional economic competitiveness. This reflected penetration of regionalism in Britain during the 2000s. Regionalism has also accepted in Japan, however, it only emphasizes government administration, ignoring aspects of economy and autonomy.
