The book provides a comprehensive approach to the assessment of the
nature of exporting activity, combining well-established
theoretical reasoning with empirical evidence, and also signalling
important economic policy recommendations. It is suitable for a
wide range of recipients, ranging from scholars and students, to
policy-makers or local/regional authorities engaged in the process
of designing/implementing regional policies. Regional authorities
show more interest in export potential because globalisation makes
the regional economies more open and vulnerable to external
economic shocks. The international trade channel has become an
important factor influencing the region's economic performance,
including dynamics and volatility of economic growth as well as
labour market performance. Due to economic transition and the
accession to the EU, Poland's regions have become more open than
ever. For regions of both Poland and Spain (an EU country similar
to Poland in terms of size and the number of administrative units),
being part of the EU's internal market with a free circulation of
goods and capital - exerts competitive pressure, which can be
regarded a stress test showing the regional adaptive capacity and
competitiveness. Apart from the in-depth review of the regional
export activity of Poland and Spain, the book also provides similar
insights for Canada and Australia, in terms of their regional
export performance and trade policy. About authors: Stanislaw
