El papel de las políticas públicas en la resiliencia regional: un análisis exploratorio del caso del País Vasco

Abstract

A resiliencia rexional, entendida como a capacidade das rexións para resistir, adaptarse e crear novas traxectorias na rexión a raíz dunha crise económica ou doutros factores externos, é un dos temas que se explorou amplamente nos últimos anos na literatura de xeografía económica. Os últimos avances na materia outórganlle ao fenómeno da resiliencia un carácter multidimensional e exploran o papel das institucións e das persoas como factores clave do concepto. As políticas públicas, como parte da armazón institucional das rexións, condicionan e modifican esta capacidade de cambio. O artigo céntrase, precisamente, en explorar a relación entre as políticas de innovación e a resiliencia rexional. Para iso, analízase desde unha perspectiva histórica o caso do País Vasco, unha antiga rexión industrial, que foi capaz de resistir, de recuperarse e renovarse despois de diferentes crises económicas.

Systemic Shock and Bordering: Comparative Analysis of the Vulnerability and Resilience of Cross-Border Governance in Europe and North America

“…This narrow view of resilience is challenged by an emerging line of research examining long-term adaptability as an expression of a border region's ability to "bounce forward" rather than "bounce back" (Boschma et al, 2017). Adaptability is a central concept in the development of the so-called evolutionary approach to resilience that emphasizes the change and adjustment of institutional structures and regional governance, for example, through the adoption of policies that transfer authority and resources for territorial management from the national to the subnational scale (Díaz-Lanchas & Mulder, 2021;Magro & Valdaliso, 2019). From the evolutionary perspective, some studies examine the role of global production networks and extraregional linkages as a mechanism for knowledge transfer and innovation associated with regional resilience (Li et al, 2022;Richardson & Cappellano, 2022), while others assess the capacity and quality of cross-border cooperation and governance (Hippe et al, 2023;Lara-Valencia & García-Pérez, 2021).…”

The Basque Country Competitiveness Report 2019. Are skills the panacea?

“…Among the policies promoting adaptability, it is possible to make a distinction between horizontal framework policies (e.g., infrastructure; education; science, technology and innovation; clusters; internationalisation; jobs) and policies aimed at productive transformation (e.g., smart specialisation strategies, RIS3) (Magro and Valdaliso, 2019). Given the challenges of the skills system in the Basque Country, below we offer a number of policy recommendations to promote adaptability, with greater emphasis on competitiveness policies, as those relating to the spheres of education and employment have been specified throughout the report.…”
