This book investigates the EU's regional growth dynamics and, in
particular, the reasons why peripheral and socio-economically
disadvantaged areas have persistently failed to catch up with the
rest of the Union. It shows that the capability of the
knowledge-based growth model to deliver its expected benefits to
these areas crucially depends on tackling a specific set of
socio-institutional factors which prevents innovation from being
effectively translated into economic growth. The book takes an
eclectic approach to the territorial genesis of innovation and
regional growth by combining different theoretical strands into one
model of empirical analysis covering the whole EU-25. An in-depth
comparative analysis with the United States is also included,
providing significant insights into the distinctive features of the
European process of innovation and its territorial determinants.
The evidence produced in the book is extensively applied to the
analysis of EU development policies.
