Missions, conditions and the policy transfer of Smart Specialisation in the European Union
研究了欧盟如何通过资金条件强制推动智慧专业化政策在区域层面的实施，并探讨这种条件性是否反映了欧洲一体化中国家角色的变化。
Smart Specialisation is fundamentally a bottom-up policymaking process premised on entrepreneurial discovery and peer learning. Nonetheless, the European Union has relied on coercive policy transfer through the ex-ante funding conditionality instrument to secure its implementation across regions. This paper examines how the use of conditionality has shaped the implementation of Smart Specialisation in the European Union and its regions. Furthermore, it discusses whether the use of conditionality to ensure the implementation of a particular type of innovation policy reflects a changed perception of the role of the state in the broader European integration project.
