From Concept to Practice
Urban flooding represents an increasingly critical challenge in rapidly urbanizing cities, where high-density development and climate variability intensify hydrological vulnerability. This article presents an analytically focused case study of Shenzhen, a national Sponge City pilot, to examine not only whether nature-based interventions are associated with flood-resilience gains but also under what spatial, institutional, and governance condition…
Waves of innovation
The Blue Economy, with its emphasis on ocean-based industries, is critical for achieving sustainable development. This study investigates the intricate relationship between sustainability, innovation, and their economic, environmental, and social impacts within Portugal’s Blue Economy. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships between sustainability, innovation, and triple bottom …
The Governance of Smart Regions in Peripheral Areas
This article examines the dynamics of governance, stakeholder collaboration, and resource allocation in developing smart regions within peripheral territories. Using the Algarve (Portugal) as a case study—a region characterized by its peripheral status and reliance on tourism—this research explores efforts to integrate technological innovations and promote economic diversification. Data were collected from document research, stakeholder surveys, …
Socio-Spatial Vulnerabilities, Peripheralization and Post-Crises Resilience
Existing socio-spatial vulnerabilities in the pre-pandemic moment led to different impacts of COVID-19 on territories, reinforcing ongoing processes of peripheralization. This article develops a new approach to understand the linkages between socio-spatial vulnerabilities and the socio-economic impacts of this crisis. Using data from Portuguese municipalities, a typology of vulnerable territories is defined based on the degree of potential exposu…
Intentional sustainable communities and sustainable development goals
Intentional sustainable communities (ISCs) are commonly described as micro-based community initiatives that seek to develop sustainable lifestyles with low environmental impact. More recently, they have been analyzed as laboratories for the emergence of innovation, namely social innovation, and as actors that can contribute to sustainable transitions. This reinforces their role as pressure agents and as microscale communities of practice. Theoret…
O regresso da Economia Política
O estreitamento da ciência económica limitou a capacidade para entender as economias. No ensino e na investigação escasseiam abordagens capazes de entender contextos e complexidades. É preciso uma nova visão que dê conta das mudanças e transformações na sociedade contemporânea. A ciência económica impregnou o debate público e tem vindo a influenciar a agenda política e a concepção de políticas públicas com noções como a eficiência dos mercados, o…

The social shaping of innovation
The study of innovation dynamics has expanded widely in recent decades. However, it has failed to include research focusing on the social process and demonstrating the mechanisms of a given system's innovative capacity, thus resulting in the fragmentation of theoretical approaches rather than the construction of a cohesive framework. Based on the assumption that innovation depends not only on the structural conditions of the context in which a sy…

The Matatiele Archaeology and Rock Art (Mara) Program Excavations
The rock shelter Mafusing 1 was excavated in 2011 as part of the Matatiele Archaeology and Rock Art or MARA research programme initiated in the same year. This programme endeavours to redress the much-neglected history of this region of South Africa, which until 1994 formed part of the wider ‘Transkei’ apartheid homeland. Derricourt’s 1977 Prehistoric Man in the Ciskei and Transkei constituted the last archaeological survey in this area. However,…

The Role of Universities in Urban Regeneration
Universities have resources for urban dynamics that are difficult to provide by other means. For this reason, these organizations are crucial actors in urban regeneration. This article sets out a conceptual framework for the analysis of the role played by higher education institutions in urban renewal initiatives. It is based on an integrated analysis of the uses of the university both as promoters of business innovation and in terms of their civ…
Universities and Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (Kibs) as Sources of Knowledge for Innovative Firms in Peripheral Regions
Pinto H., Fernandez-Esquinas M. and Uyarra E. Universities and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) as sources of knowledge for innovative firms in peripheral regions, Regional Studies. Knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) make a crucial contribution to regional innovation. Their relevance is potentially higher in peripheral territories, assisting small and medium-sized enterprises to access knowledge. Nevertheless, regions often …
Instituciones, innovación y transferencia de conocimiento
Este trabajo realiza una interpretación de las teorías sobre las variedades del capitalismo resaltando sus implicaciones para la innovación, en especial para los procesos de transferencia de conocimiento entre la universidad y la empresa. Los estudios de las variedades del capitalismo señalan la importancia de la arquitectura institucional para la competitividad de los países. El debate pone de relieve las complementariedades institucionales como…
Shapin, Steven, The Scientific Life
O que é a vida científica, que tipo de pessoa é o cientista e que virtudes e capacidades mobiliza para aumentar o seu poder financeiro e de influência, são algumas perguntas a que Steven Shapin, Professor de História da Ciência na Universidade de Harvard, tenta responder no seu mais recente livro, intitulado The Scientific Life: A Moral History of a Late Modern Vocation. Os cientistas são especialistas respeitados, legitimados, a quem é confiada …
Dimensões Institucionais, Inovação e Transferência de Conhecimento
Os estudos das variedades de capitalismo sublinham a importância das arquitecturas institucionais para a competitividade dos países. Partindo de uma revisão de literatura da discussão precursora de Hall e Soskice, dos sistemas empresariais de Whitley e da abordagem da governação da qual Amable e Boyer são autores representativos, este artigo foca a implicação destas teorias sobre a inovação e a transferência de conhecimento entre a universidade e…
Caminhos para uma teoria económica satisfatória
O presente artigo procura discutir as teorias institucionalistas e como estas têm em conta factores que tornam as análises económicas mais ricas, diversas e complexas. Integrar as instituições na análise do económico, enquanto restrições (elementos exógenos e que representam os limites da escolha humana restringindo o conjunto de escolhas disponíveis) e potenciadoras (as regras do jogo, que transcendem a escolha económica e definem as opções disp…
