Transforming European regional policy: a results-driven agenda and smart specialization
考察了欧盟凝聚政策改革的性质、理由和逻辑,重点分析了智能专业化概念如何促进以结果为导向的政策议程,并探讨了产业政策、经济地理、技术与制度之间的关系。
The paper examines the nature, rationale, and logic of the reforms to EU Cohesion Policy. A particular focus of the paper is on the concept of smart specialization and the use of this concept to help facilitate a results-oriented policy agenda. On the one hand, the arguments underpinning the reforms in part relate to modern thinking regarding the role of industrial policy. On the other hand, they also partly relate to advances in our understanding of the relationships between economic geography, technology, and institutions. At the same time, the specific features of the EU context also heavily influence the nature and logic of the changes, whereby legal and institutional matters linking Cohesion Policy to other EU policies all play an important role.
