Economic development ends in a location. The American Economic Development Council once stated that its a process ... for the benefit of the community through expanding job opportunities and the tax base. (source of quote).

On a global scale a definition of economic development should inspire a vision. Whole countries and regions within them seek benefits from the process. The vision should be one of developing and maintaining ally networks on an international level for seeking economic development prospects.

There are already organizations and agencies dedicated to global economic development. For example, Canada has the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) ... to help developing countries use science and technology to find practical, long-term solutions to the social, economic, and environmental problems they face (see the definition of developing economy). CLICK HERE for additional examples.

Economic development on a global scale forces attention on the affairs of community, be it at the local level in small places or on the national or regional level. The definition of location as provided in the Enterprise and Economic Development Glossary applies in all areas. The glossary also defines international community and global community together.

The Network uses the expression area and local development representatives as a substitute for economic developer in order to recognize those who are engaged with prospects. It uses the expression location data supplier to emphasize that economic developers are key players among its mission contacts.
