Regional innovation patterns and the eu Regional Policy reform toward smart innovation policies
Growth and Change, 2013Co-Authors: Roberto Camagni, Roberta CapelloAbstract:In the recent EU Regional Policy debate, two main documents captured the interest of experts: the EU Report Europe 2020 (European Commission 2010a), which presents the general context in which Europe will act in the next decade, and the Barca Report to Commissioner for Regional Policies, Danuta Hubner (Barca 2009), paving the way towards a reformed Regional Policy. The first Report proposes a strategy based on three pillars—namely, smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The second report discusses and proposes a new process of EU Regional Policy Reform, launched in preparation of the new programming period 2014–2020; in particular, the rationale, economic justification, conditionality, process design and delivery style of Regional Policy itself are discussed, supplying wide material for institutional and political decisions.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF SELECTIVE Regional Policy OF THE STATE
Vestnik of Khabarovsk State University of Economics and Law, 2020Co-Authors: O. V. SidorenkoAbstract:It is established that the current practice of territorial development management in the Russian Federation is ahead of the development of the theory considering Regional state Policy. In this regard, the theoretical and methodological basis related to the selective Regional Policy of the state are supplemented by developing theoretical and methodological provisions of the selective Regional Policy of socio-economic development for geostrategic territories and applied support for evaluating its effectiveness. A classification of geoselective Regional Policy tools is presented. In contrast to the known classifications, this classification makes it possible to determine the endogenous and exogenous types of stimulating selective influence of the state on the development of geostrategic regions when developing organizational and methodological support for the state's Regional Policy

Selective Regional Policy of the State: Theoretical Bases and the World Experience of Realization
Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences, 2015Co-Authors: O. V. Sidorenko, Inna S. KhvanAbstract:In the article the theoretical fundamentals of selective Regional Policy, developed by the authors as an independent type of Regional Policy of the state are presented. Classification of the types of selective Regional Policy of the state is offered. Classification of the instruments of selective Regional Policy of the state is developed. An existence of common features in the realization of selective Regional Policy in the foreign countries at the end of the XX century is shown. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n3s5p41

EU Regional Policy and the Candidate States: Poland and the Czech Republic
Journal of European Integration, 2002Co-Authors: Michael BaunAbstract:As relatively poor countries, the candidate states from Central and Eastern Europe will be major recipients of structural funds assistance once they join the EU. This prospect raises important questions about the impact of Regional Policy on the territorial politics of candidate states. Chief among these is whether EU Regional Policy will promote the same trends towards political decentralisation and Regionalism in the Central and Eastern Europe Countries (CEECs) that it is claimed to have promoted in current member states. To answer this question, this article compares preparations for accession by two candidate states, the Czech Republic and Poland. It finds that preparations for EU Regional Policy have indeed been an important factor promoting administrative decentralisation in these new democracies, but the longer-term impact of EU Regional Policy on the territorial politics of these countries, and by implication other candidate states, remains difficult to assess.

Regional Policy at a crossroad: Sweden and Norway on different paths?
2002Co-Authors: Olaf Foss, Steinar Johansen, Mats Johansson, Bo SvenssonAbstract:Sweden and Norway are two relatively similar countries in many respects. At a superficial glance, this is true also for the Regional Policy area. At a closer look, however, there are significant differences and consequently different experiences. An important part of the analysis focuses on how Regional policies in Sweden as a member of the EU, and Norway as a non-member, are influenced by European integration. Our main hypothesis is that both countries' Regional Policy aims and measures move towards the EU's, Sweden's faster than Norway's. The current situation seems to be that Sweden increasingly put its trust into the Structural Fund programmes, while national Regional Policy is allowed to gradually wither away. To Norway as a non-member of the EU this is not an option, Regional Policy will have to be carried out within the state framework. While the EU dimension is important for understanding differences in recent tendencies, it should not be taken for granted as the decisive factor in explaining differences. This paper tries to illuminate the Regional Policy experience, to what extent Regional Policy has a good or bad image in the two countries, as an alternative explanation to the EU dimension. The argument is that the Regional Policy experience has been more positive in Norway than in Sweden and that current development must be understood in this light.

Regional Policy in Norway and Sweden a Comparative Analysis
2000Co-Authors: Olaf Foss, Steinar Johansen, Mats Johansson, Bo SvenssonAbstract:Sweden and Norway are two relatively similar countries at a glance, which both have adopted the “Scandinavian Welfare State Model”. This includes the field of Regional Policy. However, if we look more carefully, there are certain discrepancies in this field. These differences have been discussed earlier, but previous analyses have focused mostly on comparing the aims and measures for Regional Policy in the narrow sense in the two countries. This paper deals with Regional Policy also in the broader sense, and tentatively discuss effects of such policies in terms of Regional development and prospects for analysing these effects. An important part of the analysises to what extent and how Regional policies in Sweden as a member of the EU, and Norway as a non-member, are influenced by European integration. Our main hypothesis is that both countries’ Regional Policy aims and measures move towards the EU’s, Sweden’s faster than Norway’s. The result of this process may be a widening gap between the two countries with regard to the national Regional policies and perhaps differing preconditions for Regional development in peripheral regions.

The Dilemma of Enlargement for the European Union's Regional Policy
The World Economy, 2004Co-Authors: Gregor Van Der Beek, Larry NealAbstract:The integration of the former communist countries of central and eastern Europe into the European Union creates a dilemma for the EU's Regional Policy. The EU's expenditure on Regional Policy (its ‘active’ Regional Policy) has been guided by political reactions to deepening or enlarging the EU, not by a rational strategy for Regional Policy. In contrast, the strong EU instrument of state aid control, developed for competition Policy (its ‘reactive’ Regional Policy) has been relatively successful in avoiding a national race of Regional subsidies among the member states. We show that a shift from active Regional Policy to reactive, competition-oriented, Regional policies is the preferred way for the established member states to handle the challenge of enlargement. At the same time, however, this shift is politically difficult for the accession countries to accept, despite the fact that this shift might prove better for them economically. This Regional Policy dilemma is one of the major obstacles for the full integration of the accession countries into the EU.

The Regional Policy Dilemma of the European Union
Social Science Research Network, 2000Co-Authors: Larry Neal, Gregor Van Der BeekAbstract:The integration of the former communist countries of central and eastern Europe into the European Union will create a dilemma for the EU's Regional Policy. The EU's expenditure on Regional Policy (which we term its "active" Regional Policy) was guided by political reactions on deepening and enlarging the EU and not by a rational Regional Policy strategy. In contrast, the strong EU instrument of subsidies surveillance, developed for competition Policy (which we will call its "reactive" Regional Policy) has been relatively successful in avoiding a national race of Regional Policy subsidies among the member states. We show that a shift from active Regional Policy to reactive, competition-oriented Regional policies would be a way to handle the challenge of enlargement for the established member states, but at the same time this shift will be difficult for the applicant countries.
