Die noch immer starke Dominanz des Denkens in „Ländern“ wird durch ein Denken in „Wirtschaftsregionen“ abgelöst werden. Es werden nicht mehr politisch gesetzte Grenzzäune sein, die der europäischen Landkarte ihre Konturen geben, sondern städtische Ballungszentren, regionale Wachstumsbananen, aber auch darbende Rostgürtel.
