The Relationship Between Regional Policy And Regional State Aid Policy In The European Union And Implications For TurkeyUgurlu, Ulge 01 December 2006 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between regional policy and regional state aid policy in the European Union and to evaluate the implications of this relationship on the transformation of the regional policy approach of both the EU and the member states with specific focus on the implications for Turkish regional policy in the process of EU accession. After providing a critical review of regional policy and regional state aid policy in the EU, this thesis lays out the possible alternatives for regional policy following the enlargement of the Union in 2004. The analysis shows that in the absence of a significant increase in the funding directed to regional policy at the EU level despite an increase in regional disparities and as a result of more strict regulations on regional state aids granted by member states / a trade-off exists, especially for less-prosperous member states, between national growth and reduction of regional disparities. Thus, achieving a proper balance between competitiveness and cohesion in the EU necessitates the coordination of national and EU level funding for regional development. The implications for Turkey is that in order to achieve national convergence with the EU in the short run and to reduce regional disparities in the long run, Turkey needs to revise its regional policy and regional state aid policy as to strategically coordinate national and EU regional policy funding.

<p>Abstract and summary</p><p>The glocal province of competence.</p><p>The regional building up of knowledge at Växjö University and its choice of home region.</p><p>The aim of the study is to give views on knowledge and to describe and discuss which home region Växjö University has chosen as its context. Taking my point of departure in the literature and in examples, I illustrate, discuss and examine how three different disciplines at the university have chosen their home regions. The disciplines are history, economics and biology. The study covers the last 33 years.</p><p>The empirical study, with its focus only on regional matters, is based on four sources. 1. Research and researchers 2. Education and the impact it has as shown by the papers written by students at bachelor and master levels. In all 459 papers have been classified 3. Interviews with the professors 4. The University’s annual report given by the board of directors.</p><p>The study centres on the diverse and complex characteristics of regions which leads to a variation of regions used by different actors at the university. One aspect is the consideration of the relationship between formal and everyday knowledge.</p><p>The three disciplines have different attitudes towards home region and towards how it is constituted. Generally speaking, historians see the home region more as territory with the emphasis on the southern part of the province of Småland. The economists concentrate on home region as a functional arena, even though examples and studies sometimes are found in Småland. The biologists, who are in a new discipline at the university, sometimes study the southern part of Sweden, but focus on general aspects. All three of them are interested in interdisciplinary methods and studies in order to build up knowledge connected to the home region. The board of directors has not chosen one specific region and varies its attitudes over the years.</p><p>The interviews gave a broad perspective on knowledge and regions and with views on a local and global world. A glocal region.</p><p>Keywords; home region, regional development, knowledge, higher education, university.</p>

Regionų plėtotės valdymas einant į pilietinę visuomenę (Šiaulių regiono pavyzdžiu) / The Governance of Regional development based on the Civic SocietyTijūnaitis, Raimondas 04 June 2005 (has links)
This Master‘s final paper analyzes the Regional development governance in the context of civic society. The paper presents the results of theoretical and empirical surveys of Lithuanian and foreign scientists in the field of public participation in the regional development governance. To sustain the theoretical conclusions and to prove the hypothesis of this research work, there were questioned more than 700 people of Siauliai County. The first hypothesis of this research was confirmed partly, that it is not proper time to apply the governance from above (“bottom-up”) because of the specific Lithuanian postcommunist regimes. The second hypothesis was confirmed, that the estimations of the county’s population of the different fields of main sectors of Siauliai regional development were improved comparing the year of 2003 to 2005 because of the better economic development of the county during this period. The third hypothesis was confirmed partly, that the same estimations of all sectors mean that people are indifferent to the regional development governance.

Através das contribuições teóricas e empíricas, para a compreensão das políticas de desenvolvimento, analisamos a estruturação do espaço regional considerando a presença dos elementos da natureza e sociedade no processo de formação socioespacial da região. Nesse contexto, constatamos que, na implantação da fábrica de cimento, a necessidade de contratações de mão-de-obra, se constituiu em foco de desterritorialização de várias pessoas vindas de outras regiões, seja pela atração exercida para um trabalho normalmente transitório, seja pelo deslocamento forçado de suas terras e moradias, da área escolhida para ser instalada. Desterritorialização essa que também pode ser referenciada à desorganização de estruturas socioprodutivas preexistentes à implantação de tal empreendimento que poucos benefícios trouxeram para o desenvolvimento local e regional. Pelo status quo, o desafio, para regiões como a área da Bodoquena, está em mobilizar-se e articular-se, na construção de um projeto de desenvolvimento regional, porque as políticas públicas, por si mesmas, não podem solucionar o problema do desenvolvimento e da melhoria da qualidade de vida, ou seja, é necessário um modelo socioeconômico e ambiental, com a participação da comunidade organizada. / With the objective to analyze the development politics and the structuring the area of Bodoquena in Mato Grosso do Sul, we intend to verify direct and indirect influences of industrial cement unit on the territory, besides the importance of the tourism activity in the structuring of regional space. Through theoretical and empiric contributions to understand development politics, we analyzed the structure of regional space considering the presence of nature and society elements in the process of partner-space formation of the area. In that context, we verified that, in the implantation of a cement factory, the need of labor recruiting was constituted focusing several people's arrivals from other areas on brazilian territory, because of attraction exercised for a work usually transitory, because of forced displacement from lands and homes, to choose an area to be installed. Deterritorialization can also be reference to the disorganization of preexistent partner-productive structures to the implantation of such enterprise that few benefits brought for local and regional development. For status quo, the challenge for areas as Bodoquena, it's to mobilize and articulate, in the construction of a project of regional development, as result of the public politics, for themselves, that cannot solve the problem of development and of improvement of the life quality. That is, it's necessary to have a socioeconomic and environmental model with organized community's participation.

No Brasil, apesar da incorporação de tecnologia ainda enfrentar muitos obstáculos, o Estado de São Paulo desenvolveu sofisticada base industrial e concentra as principais empresas no ramo. E o interior paulista é uma das áreas mais importantes do país, com crescimento e desenvolvimento recente, associado principalmente, à implantação de uma estrutura industrial moderna, de empresas exclusivas. A região administrativa de Presidente Prudente, no entanto, é considerada no conjunto das regiões administrativas do Estado, área sem tradição industrial, mais voltada para a atividade agropecuária. O objetivo maior desta investigação foi interpretar o papel econômico das empresas industriais de ramos e portes diferenciados existentes na região, além de averiguar como suas empresas tradicionais e modernas se portam frente às necessidades de inovação tecnológica que imperam nas mais diversas esferas produtivas. Essa pesquisa fez uma análise sobre as atividades industriais, numa interpretação de seus nexos territoriais e sociais, bem como de suas diferenciações e articulações geo-econômicas, focalizando principalmente, o desenvolvimento da base tecnológica de algumas empresas implantadas na região, porção territorial com carência econômica de investimentos privados e estatais, uma “incapacidade” que pode representar um tipo qualitativo diferente, até mesmo singular, de desenvolvimento para o futuro. / At the present time the technological changes reached all the sections of the human life and they have a fundamental role in the industrial section. In spite of the technology incorporation, Brasil still faces many obstacles, althought the State of São Paulo developed sophisticated industrial base and it concentrates the main industrial companies.
