Reinforcing territorial impact assessments in Czechia
This paper reveals the current state of territorial impact assessments (TIAs) and place-sensitive policymaking in Czechia, a Central European country that joined a pilot action intended to contribute to the territorial priorities of the strategic framework, the ‘Territorial Agenda 2030’. We traced the steps that were gradually taken at the national level towards the implementation of the Territorial Agenda and TIAs, including the identification o…
The role of regional governance modes and system-level agency in evolutionary paths of regional industries
The role of assets and variegated constellations of organizational- and system-level agency in regional transformation
This paper aims to contribute to the study of agency in regional development first by elaborating a typology of organizational- and system-level agency constellations in regions. Second, the paper outlines the main individual and collective assets which influence the vigour and sophistication of organizational- and system-level agency and by specifying the main drivers upon which the exertion of usually more scarce system-level agency is continge…
Acquisitions, spatial heterogeneity and economic impacts in Central European non-metro-politan regions
This paper aims to make a conceptual and empirical contribution to our understanding of the effects of extra-regional assets and knowledge inflow, through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), in different types of regions. We revealed that the M&A market is not geographically homogeneous, and regions differ in all aspects of the M&A market: relative position, local density and foreign attractiveness, the same as in the M&A intensity. This heterogeneit…
Technological Novelty, Knowledge Bases, and Regional Differentiation
Exceptional innovations have recently been investigated in the literature as they may change the trajectories of field or regional development and thus impact their innovation and economic performance. However, there still lacks empirical evidence as to the impact of different types of knowledge bases on the emergence of discontinuous, breakthrough, or radical innovations. This study addresses this research gap and investigates the impact of anal…
Spatial patterns of transport accessibility and traffic load in Czechia
We analyse the impacts caused by the construction of new road infrastructure between 2005 and 2015 in Czechia, EU. The results provide an answer to which municipalities were affected by the construction of new road infrastructure or how the accessibility of individual regional centres changed. The study works with two key variables: a change in the accessibility of regional centres and a change in traffic load inside municipalities. The key outpu…
The role of geographic and cognitive proximity in knowledge networks
Towards an integrated framework of agency in regional development
This paper investigates the role of agency in regional industrial path development using an integrated framework that combines three recent conceptualizations of agency: (1) firm- and system-level agency; (2) trinity-of-change agency; and (3) reproductive and change agency. Our framework redefines firm- and system-level agency into organizational- and system-level agency to enable a more nuanced and multifaceted understanding of the agency of var…
How health capabilities and government restrictions affect the Covid-19 pandemic
The dark side of regional industrial path development
Over the past few years, scholarly debates on new path development have attracted increasing attention within the economic geography literature. This work distinguishes various trajectories of regional and industrial evolution. So far, these evolutionary trajectories have been mainly conceptualized as ‘positive’ forms of path development. However, in reality, many regions are undergoing phases that can be characterized as ‘negative’ trajectories.…
Spatial changes in distribution of firms and selected industries around new motorway
Does innovation support and maturity matter for firms’ performance in a moderately developed regional innovation system in Central Europe
Regional innovation systems in Central and Eastern Europe suffer from many handicaps connected with generally lower levels of business activity and unfavourable positions of firms within global value chains. In this paper, results of business coaching programmes implemented in South Moravia (Czechia) are evaluated. The success of support is assessed (1) in terms of turnover, value added and employment growth (using a counterfactual analysis), and…
The variegated role of proximities in acquisitions by domestic and international companies in different phases of economic cycles
Smart specialisation in regions with less-developed research and innovation systems
Universities and other knowledge institutions have quickly come to be seen as central to smart specialisation. However, their exact role in Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation has yet to receive much critical attention in the academic literature. This is particularly notable as defining features of smart specialisation – such as the entrepreneurial dynamic of the strategy-formation process, and differentiated nature of the…
Theory and reality of the EU’s rural development policy application in the context of territorial cohesion perspective—The case of the Czech Republic in the long-term period of 2004–2013
The role of EU rural development policy in the neo-productivist agricultural paradigm
The role of EU rural development policy in the neo-productivist agricultural paradigm. Regional Studies. European Union rural development policy tools have renewed their emphasis on agriculture for the period 2014–20. This shift has been driven by an incoming neo-productivism paradigm, a terminology only recently applied to rural studies. This paper focuses on the discussion of European Union rural policy positions in the context of key drivers o…
Transport Supply and Demand Changes in Relation to Unemployment
The continuing European recession underlines the urgency of the unemployment and labour force mobility issue. Therefore, the objective of this study is to scrutinise the relationship between changes in unemployment rate and transport indicators in the intercensal period 2001–2011. Both primary and secondary data are used in the analysis. Rate of car ownership and commuting data were taken from national censuses in 2001 and 2011 which surrounded t…
