Scenarios about 'regional specialization'
Regional specialization refers to the economic phenomenon where different geographic areas focus on producing specific goods or services based on their comparative advantages. This pattern emerges from variations in natural resources, climate, labor skills, infrastructure, and historical development paths across regions. In alternate history scenarios, different patterns of regional specialization can dramatically alter economic power balances, trade networks, and the global distribution of wealth and influence.
