Abstract
The effects of the changes in the international division of labour on the interregional division of labour are by no means well understood.
In regional studies literature two main views are held on this issue.
The first one considers the largely separate areas, relating to different dimensions of development, at different levels of analysis. Regions are seen as open economies, but their contacts with the 'rest of the world' usually are not differentiated according to their domestic or international origins. [...]
The second view has gained increasing acceptance with the rise of dependency cum imperialism approaches to regional development. Realizing the danger of gross generalization, this view holds that the international division of labour takes predominance over the interregional strucure of a country. [...]
