Smart specialisation, entrepreneurship and SMEs: issues and challenges for a results-oriented EU regional policy
探讨欧盟区域政策如何借鉴全球创业与创新理论进行改革，以发挥创业在区域创新中的作用，并分析不同地区政策路径的异同。
This paper discusses the ways that European regional policy has been re-shaped in order to build on the role played by entrepreneurship in driving regional innovation. The various lines of re-thinking which have helped to reform the policy draw heavily on modern theories of entrepreneurship and innovation, and these insights have contributed significantly to many of the elements of new policy logic and framework. Yet, these ideas also derive both from worldwide, rather than EU-specific insights, and also from a wide range of academic fields. Setting the EU agenda within the broader global context is therefore also important in order to help identify both the commonalities and differences between policy approaches in different types of places.
