"The rise of transnational interactions has produced a new economic globalization in which cities and their regions are the prime nodes"
This is quintessentially summarizing the subject of a study, that is focussing on the economical impact of global connectivity for regions and cities:
"As cities aim to position themselves better economically, they must remember that they operate in a global marketplace. Cities able to grow and attract globally-connected, high-value service firms can access, and benefit from, a worldwide array of customers, workers, and contracted services, ultimately boosting quality growth at home."
