From Traditional Regional Analysis to Dynamics of Local Development: Foundations and Theoretical Reorientations

Abstract

The conventional and traditional regional analysis seems to gradually changing focus, content and hermeneutic optic. The regional analysis of past seems increasingly saturated, being incapable to interpret and propose policy solutions that originate primarily from the potential of local development, innovation and entrepreneurship. To this end, new, multidisciplinary approaches of local development seem to prevail progressively, leading the study of development to the analysis of dynamically evolving localities.

Modern approaches to Ukraine’s regional development management

“…For developing countries, as modern scientists believe, where efforts to accelerate growth are inhibited by fear of aggravating inflation, reduction of regional disparities may well be the sine qua non of a successful development policy (Jackson et al, 2019). The dominant philosophy of intervention to strengthen local socioeconomic systems, on an international scale, moves away from the traditional regional policy paradigm towards a more sophisticated and complete approach (Vlados et al, 2019).…”

“…For developing countries, as modern scientists believe, where efforts to accelerate growth are inhibited by fear of aggravating inflation, reduction of regional disparities may well be the sine qua non of a successful development policy (Jackson et al, 2019). The dominant philosophy of intervention to strengthen local socioeconomic systems, on an international scale, moves away from the traditional regional policy paradigm towards a more sophisticated and complete approach (Vlados et al, 2019). Special emphasis on the development of cities in the context of regional development is given in the articles 'Eliciting non-monetary values of formal and informal urban green spaces using public participation GIS' (Pietrzyk-Kaszy nska et al, 2017) and 'Seeing cities through big data' (Thakuriah et al, 2017).…”

Searching for a new global development trajectory after COVID-19

“…The concept of new globalisation is not new: it was created and supported before the advent of COVID-19, although from different perspectives in terms of suggesting an actual model of global progress and sustainability (Bhattacharya et al, 2017;Kieh, 2008;Lauridsen, 2018;Margulesku, 2015;Vlados et al, 2018a;Vujakovic, 2010). The shared element among these theoretical approaches is that the international system currently lies in a transitional period.…”

Scientific –Educational Cluster - Mechanism of Innovative Development of the Country

“…На нынешнем этапе кризиса и перестройки глобализации научный дискурс, который касается всех социально-экономических дисциплин, кажется, находятся в фазе существенного изменения положения (Asheim, Grillitsch, & Trippl, 2016;Laudicina, & Peterson, 2016). Фокус, кажется, смещается с точки зрения традиционной экономической географии и регионального развития для изучения местной динамики, так как последний подход может синтезировать отдельные пространственные уровни в глобальной перспективе (Vlados, Deniozos, Chatzinikolaou, & Digkas, 2019).…”
