But until now, there has been little guidance and little agreement on how the techniques of commercial brand management can really be applied to places. For the first time, in this authoritative new book, Anholt shares his insights and experience in the field, and shows in detail what countries, cities and regions can do to build and sustain their competitive identity."--Jacket ER -
