Regional growth, connections and economic modelling: An introduction
No full textWith increasing globalization over recent decades, the impacts of economic stimuli at the national level have diminished in terms of their importance for economic processes; the stimuli are increasingly originating at the international level. As markets integrate, the competitors of firms are generally firms from other countries and the domestic market is no longer and not necessarily the most important one. At the same time, the internal resources of firms are no longer sufficient for their competitiveness in a globalized World, and, to sustain their growth, they have to rely increasingly on external resources, knowledge in particular, which are normally accessible at the local and regional level (Audretsch 1988). The regional scale, therefore, has increased in importance for economic growth as a result of globalization forces; competition is now centered on region-region interactions with the regions often located in different countries

What policy for interconnected territories? Conclusions and openings
No full textThe main argument of the whole book is that regions, however their functional boundaries are defined, grow with a virtuous process if the public and private agents of their territory maintain an equilibrated set of connections both inside and outside the region, and can hence be defined as interconnected territories.
Some recent literature has defined the process by which the growth of regional territories is shaped not only by global forces but by their internal structure and governance, as ‘glocalism’ (e.g. Swyngedouw 2000). Virtuous regions are in fact characterized by strong interconnections within the territory, with other territories, and also on the global scale
Solid phase microextraction applied to honey quality control
No full textThe assessment of the botanical origin of unifloral honeys is an important application in food
control. The current official methods mainly use pollen analysis. The aim of this paper is to present an
SPME analytical approach to the study of honey volatiles. Honey samples (40) obtained from hive sites
in different regions of Italy were analysed. The samples had six different botanical origins: citrus (five),
chestnut (10), eucalyptus (eight), lime tree (11), thyme (two) and dandelion (four). Melissopalynological
analysis was also performed. Identification of volatile compounds was carried out by SPME/GC/MS
analysis, and quantitative evaluation was done by SPME/GC/FID analysis for compounds with wellresolved
peaks. Using the SPME method, all samples with the same botanical origin gave remarkably
similar GC profiles. Some volatile compounds were found only in specific floral source honey samples and
thus could be interesting for use as markers
