This work opposes that position and presents an entirely different view of the consequences of globalization. Identifies and analyzes the main pillars of the new economic geography, and presents a new approach focusing on the decline of communication costs, cost competition, and technological choice to yield new insights into the consequences of regional integration and the process of globalization. The author teaches economics at the University of Koeln, Germany. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
