Om bidragsyterne
Edited by Manuel González-López, Associate Professor of Applied Economics, ICEDE Research Group, University of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain and Bjørn T. Asheim, Professor of Economic Geography and Innovation Theory, University of Stavanger Business School, Norway
A novel contribution to the growing field of regional innovation policies, this timely book combines recent theoretical developments and empirical contributions. With a keen focus on non-core regions, some of the top scholars in the field discuss the topics of regional path transformation, place-based strategy and policy learning. Analysing the role of EU institutions, the book includes a thematic section on EU regional and innovation policies as well as four key case studies of peripheral European regions, Galicia, Apulia, Malopolska and Agder. By analysing these case studies, the authors offer advice on how to improve regional innovation policies and systems within a modern context, where smart specialisation dominates and competitiveness is increasingly relevant. EU studies, innovation and regional studies scholars will appreciate the blend of empirical evidence and theory. It will also be useful to policy-makers in charge of innovation policies at regional as well as EU level. Contributors include: C. Ares, A. Arrona, B.T. Asheim, E. Baier, C.A.M. del Carmen Sánchez-Carreira, I. Dileo, J. Gancarczyk, M. Gancarczyk, M. González-López, R. Hassink, A. Isaksen, J. Karlsen, R.N.S.S. J.P. Knudsen, M. Larrea, F. Losurdo, M. Najda-Janoszka, Ó. Rodil-Marzábal, S. Strickert, M. Trippl, P. Varela-Vázquez, X. Vence-Deza, A. Zenker
