Summary

The car industry is considered one of the most archetypal global industries. Nevertheless, it looks more like a world of regions rather than a fully integrated global one. Does regionalism prevail over or complement globalization? Moreover, is there still room for unilateral (go-it-alone) strategies? This volume addresses these questions from the perspective of the car industry, the most important industrial 'carrier' of these developments. Cars, Carriers of Regionalism? provides an integral account of the geo-economic and geo-political dilemmas and opportunities faced by the car industry in developed as well as developing countries at the start of the 21st century. All major regional integration initiatives are covered and their feasibility is assessed, including go-it-alone efforts. This volume - written by leading scholars who have participated to the GERPISA international network's four-year research programme Globalization or Regionalisation for the Auto Industry? - is intended for both academics and practitioners/managers
