The driving force behind this movement is a belief that self-directing ad outward-looking regional communities can confront the challenge of globalisation and build sustainable social systems in a way that bigger national entities cannot. Regions are small enough to be flexible and manageable, but also big enough to flex their muscles on the international stage.\|Community-oriented education and development agencies are beginning to play major role in these developments. They are catalysts for the production of new ideas. But they are also acting as brokers and mediators enabling groups from the public and private sector to work together to develop the know-how to turn plans into reality.

It contains sixteen papers written by experts from the educational, economic and regional development fields in the United States and the European Union. These papers analyse the ingredients of regional innovation and describe successful case studies.
