Where the trees fall
Smart Specialisation
Smart Specialisation (S3) has been the driving force behind the European Union's regional innovation strategy for the last seven years. However, criticism has been levelled at the policy as lacking an evidence base. This paper tackles this gap in the literature by providing an empirical assessment of a strategy remarkably similar to S3: the Maine Economic Improvement Fund (MEIF). The paper finds that the MEIF has succeeded in increasing employmen…
Making Location Quotients More Relevant as a Policy Aid in Regional Spatial Analysis
Location Quotients (LQs) remain an important tool for geographical analysis, particularly in terms of assessing industrial specialisation and clustering. LQs as decision aids are typically understood through the use of arbitrarily set cut-off values. However, LQs are rarely accompanied by an associated level of variance that can be connected with the estimated data used to calculate them. This paper reveals the importance of understanding this va…
An appraisal of the European Cluster Observatory
This paper considers the work of the European Cluster Observatory (ECO) in light of current debates around the notion of clusters. Examining the definitions employed by the ECO, questions are posed about how effective policy can be when using highly restrictive means of analysis. Further, the work contends that, far from this being purely an analytical problem, there also exists a fundamental semantic issue regarding the term ‘economic cluster’
Somoza and Roosevelt
Diplomatic history, or as some job descriptions now classify it, “the history of the United States and the world,” has undergone significant changes over the last quarter century, with many historians applying the tools of social and cultural history to America's diplomatic record and others focusing on the archives of other countries to document the impact of the United States. Andrew Crawley's work is an unembarrassed throwback to an earlier er…
Toward a Biregional Agenda for the Twenty-first Century
In the wake of the 1999 Rio Summit and its focus on biregional cooperation, this article reviews the background and development of European-Latin American relations over the past two decades, the political and economic context, the current state of transatlantic links, and the shortterm prospects for the relationship. Among its several premises is that the EU and Latin America constitute the bulk of the West, and the ways they work together will …
