The authors go on to argue that in Central Europe the evolution of market institutions has far outstripped the development of private property, but in Russia the accumulation of wealth in private hands is far ahead of the establishment of market institutions. This constitutes two distinct post-communist regions--'capitalism without capitalists' in Central Europe and 'capitalists without capitalism' in Russia--which has had direct implications for the culture or style of capitalism in each context

Washington Post , 22 October : A22 The emerging Alpine Diamond region linking Lyon with Geneva and Turin is anchored by a particular regional pattern of interaction and Latin culture. Likewise, the Eastern Triangle linking Vienna with Prague and Budapest is rooted in Central European geographic, historical and cultural connections. Some have referred to this movement as a rebirth of the Hanseatic League, which was dominated by North European port cities in the 15th and 16th centuries

  • Mittelman . “ 'Rethinking the "new regionalism",' ” . 191 – 192 . James Mittelman makes a distinction between macro-regions (loose geographical units larger than the state with some political and cultural bonds, eg the European Union), subregions (historical, cultural and economic areas in proximity which find their expression in subregional economic zones that transcend state boundaries, but need not encompass entire national economies, eg Greater South China Growth Triangle) and micro-regions (which develop within the boundedness of sovereign states, eg Catalonia, Quebec or industrial districts), My approach obviously tends to emphasise subregionalism as a primary locus of economic diversity.
  • Wade , R . 1991 . Governing the Market: Economic Theory and the Role of Government in East Asian Industrialization , Princeton NJ : Princeton University Press . Robert Wade develops the strategic intervention thesis most persuasively. His examination of growth in East Asia suggests that economic development has been contingent upon a synthesis of government intervention (setting rules, influencing investment allocation and decision making in the private sector) and market competition (internal decentralisation, rivalry, diversity). As a result of this synthesis, East Asian nations acquired a competitive edge in international markets

Southeast Asia's geographic location made it a natural crossroads for trade routes between China to the Northeast and India to the West. Trading ports were scattered throughout the South China Seas. Malacca, Bantam in Java, Johore, Manila--major ports in the Chinese spice trade--were largely controlled by ethnic-Chinese middlemen. See
