PALACIOS L., Juan José. Territoriality, the State-Nation and the national economy: Glimpses of a transregional economy in the world of the 21^st century. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.45, pp.73-132. ISSN 1665-0565.

The expression international economy implies that the terms state and nation are equivalent and that the international and the national are elements of a dichotomy that is not discussed. It is thus assumed that every "national" economy is contained entirely within the territory of the state-nation with which it is identified. This convention has been losing sustenance as a consequence of the changes that have occurred in the last decades in the specialty of the "national" economies and in the structure and operation of the "international economy." Therefore, the argument is presented here that the economies of the nation states have become unattached from their territorial correlate; therefore, its "national" character has been diluting and along with it the condition of "international" of those economies as a whole as new transregional economy is formed in the world. This essay aims at developing and sustaining that argument.
