Region - engine of growth in global economy

Abstract

Globalization changes the role and functions of the border and creates new forms of regional cooperation and development, arising from the need to generate development opportunities and to enhance international competitiveness of states in the international interconnected frame of the the present. In this context, the micro-region represents a pole of development and growth not only adapted to strong economies, but also to countries in full process of development and growth, seeking solutions to annihilate the effects of the global crisis and to globally increase their competitiveness. The starting point for the introduction of these mechanisms is to identify the suitable resources in order to become the center of the region’s development and the source of attracting foreign capital.
