Smart specialisation is the new policy approach to the development
of regional innovation systems across Europe and it involves
fostering innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives which are well
tailored to the local context. The different technologies, skills
profiles, business activities, institutions and sectors which
reflect a region's economic strengths and potential are to be
fostered and encouraged to diversify in ways which also exploit the
region's linkages with broader global value-chains. Yet, the ideas
contained in the smart specialisation agenda have until now been
primarily conceptual in nature. The Empirical and Institutional
Dimensions of Smart Specialisation draws together some of the
leading regional economists and scientists in Europe to analyse how
smart specialisation is working in practice. This book investigates
different dimensions of the agenda as it is developing across parts
of Europe from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. The
quantitative analysis examines the nature of the diversification
processes undertaken by regions and the interplay between the
chosen local regional development priorities and the wider global
value-chain impacts of these choices. Meanwhile, the qualitative
analysis examines the institutional opportunities and challenges
facing policy makers and the key elements most likely to provide
the underpinnings of a workable set of policy settings. The book is
aimed both at academic researchers interested in the interface
between economic geography and regional innovation systems as well
as at policy makers making public policy decisions related to
regional development at the local, city, regional or national
levels.
