In this paper today, I want to revisit the issue of globalisation in regional studies, and
explore why almost forty years after urban geographers like David Harvey pointed out
the consequences of decisions taken far away for seemingly unconnected places, the issue
of global-local relations remained as ethereal and slippery as ever in our discipline. This
paper draws on work I have been undertaking together with a colleague at CHEPS, Adrie
Dassen, for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as
part of their Regional Innovation Strategies projects, and which have separately been
published as Benneworth & Dassen (2010) and Benneworth (2010) respectively. I would
like to acknowledge the contribution of Karen Maguire & Claire Nauwelaers (both
OECD) in this process and the ideas in these working papers. The views expressed in
this paper are exclusively and personally those of the author, and any errors or omissions
