Abstract

The chapter offers a critical revision of smart specialisation and place-based policy concepts. Focusing on empirically strengthened measurement of agglomeration and concentration in regions, the chapter also draws attention to the deficits of investigating regional specialisation and uses a broad perspective to facilitate a better understanding of its use towards smart specialisation and place-based policy. The chapter explores the methodological implications of a new approach to thinking about regional policy in the perspective of European Union’s future.
