This book examines and clarifies key aspects of regional branding with the special focus of inter-regional brands. Today regions are in strong competition for companies, tourists and most of all talent. In order to differentiate one region from another, regional developers, politicians and planners increasingly focus on establishing the region as a brand. This is by no means easy, since places are complex systems of geographical abstractions in which each place is understood in relation and contrast to other geographical entities. In doing so, regions not only differentiate, but also cooperate (within one country or between countries), building so-called Inter-Regional Brands with an even higher degree of complexity.
Accordingly this volume, provides a theoretically well informed but practically oriented overview of this phenomenon ? including numerous cases and best practices. As such, it will strongly appeal to both academics and practitioners in the field.
Offers an interdisciplinary approach that also combines theory and practice
Explains what inter-regional brands are and explores the special challenges on both theoretical and practical levels
Proposes many best practices to help practitioners and students alike to understand the challenges of inter-regional branding and find possible solutions
