The European Internal Market and the Internationalisation of Small and Medium Size Enterprises

  • Chapter
Regional Science

Thus, the traditional distinction between national and regional economies, based on the immobility of factors among national economies, has become blurred and this requires a tighter integration between international economics and regional economics.
