Focusing endogenous forces at the regional level has become elemental in our thinking about development and competitiveness at all levels. This book demonstrates that building and testing ''local after-crisis scenarios'' before crises occur informs policy and leadership at the critical flex points along the regional development horizon.' \u003cbr\u003e --- Roger Stough, George Mason University, US\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:  1.
