Strategies for Cross-National Regions
Traditional strategies for cross-national regions have focused on free trade zones. Today, especially under the pressure of a global economic slowdown, it is critical for nations to work together to develop regional strategies that improve competitiveness across borders. Strategies that coordinate economic policy among neighboring countries can:
- Create mutual benefits to productivity for all participating nations
- Speed up the process of economic upgrading at the national level
- Promote interest and investment in the region by the international community
The Institute and Michael Porter are engaged in helping several cross-national regions work collaboratively to strengthen their economies.
