Research Abstract

This research has been examining the character of regional economic integration under the European Union, the relationship between it and the sub-national local economic divergence, and the responding strategy by the multinational enterprises (MNEs). As the results, we confirmed that the EU is economic liberalizing orientated in nature, which enhances the divergence among the locals, while the responses by MNEs are heavily influenced by national economic and market character, which makes difficult automatic economic convergence at higher level.
