    What policy for interconnected territories? Conclusions and openings

    No full text
    The 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

    Regional growth, connections and economic modelling: An introduction

    No full text
    With 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

    Growth and Innovation of Competitive Regions: The Role of Internal and External Connections

    No full text
    This volume investigates the dynamics of regional performance in advanced countries and the mechanisms that allow some regions to grow more rapidly than others, to become and remain more competitive in the long run. The authors show how the capability of regions to innovate is enhanced by a large number of factors, including entrepreneurship, clustering, creativity, new technologies, human capital and the presence of internal, intra-regional, and external, extra-regional, connections. The book is mainly theoretical, but all chapters also analyze the policy consequences. Moreover, the empirical results reinforce the theoretical findings and as such are more broadly applicable and not bound to the specific case. The general reach of the theoretical arguments, and the focus on policy consequences, make this book helpful for both scholars and policymakers

    Managing the Complexity: Decision Making Process on Sustainable Mobility

    No full text
    Starting from the literature on decision processes in public choices, aim of the paper is to suggest an integrated methodology to get a choice as much as possible shared and participated joining two different approaches. On one hand there is the “classic” or top-down approach based on statistical data analysis and handling, having as target the definition of some synthetic indicators. On the other hand there is a bottom-up approach based on the Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) logical framework and on citizens participation. Particularly the paper will apply the above mentioned methodology to face the theme of sustainable mobility showing at the end the results obtained in the analysis of the 13th District of the Municipality of Rome. The choice of sustainable mobility as a target of decision process lies on the fact that actually it is included with a high priority in the agenda of European institutions and (local and national) administrative governments. The proposed model does not provide a solution, but rather defines a process able to recognize the particularities of different territorial contexts to yield appropriate, case specific solutions
