1 Regional Economies in a Globalising World Enhancing Intellectual Capacity and Innovation Friday 21 November Glamorgan Building, Cardiff University Chair: Professor Kevin Morgan The project This project identifies key thinkers in contrasting regional economies and asks them to prepare 3-5,000 word essays on their experience in mobilising intellectual resources to promote innovative new approaches to economic and social development within their respective policy communities. What has worked in their context, what has disappointed, and what policy exchange can be realistically attempted? How best can regional economies engage with the forces of globalisation? The project builds on a report Competing with the World, published by the Institute in This surveyed regional economies across the world to see what initiatives might be transferable to Wales. Fifteen economic regions were identified and studied as having potential lessons, divided into two categories. The following eleven were examined for their general success: 1. Atlanta, Georgia, USA 2. Aukland, New Zealand 3. Cambridgeshire, UK 4. Cleveland, Ohio, USA 5. Rhones-Alpes 6. Emelia-Romagna, Italy 7. Ireland 8. Limburg, Belgium and Netherlands 9. Ostergotland, Sweden 10. Overjissel, Netherlands 11. Pais Vasco, Spain In addition, Darmstadt, Germany, and Oulu, Finland were studied because of the salience of University involvement in their economies. Quebec was examined because of its high levels of public investment, and Singapore was chosen because of changing attitudes to entrepreneurship and creativity. The most important lessons that emerged can be summed up as follows: High quality independent research and analysis should underpin a communal effort in which business plays an active part alongside government. Entrepreneurial universities dedicated to the region s economy should be promoted. Support for the indigenous fabric, especially networks of small businesses, should be given top priority. There are no quick fixes or magic formulae successful economic regeneration policies must be tailored to local conditions, and then pursued consistently over decades. 1
2 In themselves these four recommendations were unremarkable. What was most informative was that, invariably, the regional economies we studied were successful because they exhibited all four in combination. So the lesson was: unless you follow at least these four directions your regional economy is unlikely to reach its full potential. Looking back at the assumptions underlying the study, it is striking that climate change was hardly taken into account. While globalisation was taken as a given, its impact was not considered in detail. Yet, within a space of four years, globalisation and climate change have come to dominate economic development thinking across the world. It is time, therefore, to revisit our 2004 study to see how regional economies can most effectively adjust to, and take advantage of global pressures. It is argued for example, that smaller economies should have the ability to mobilise inherent advantages in adapting to world markets. They have short lines of communication, and small and potentially cohesive policy communities that should allow them to respond rapidly to changes in external conditions. Recent years have also seen a burgeoning of futures studies as societies of all sizes grapple with rapid change. We would like to discuss with the British Council the range of participants we should invite. However, we would suggest the following regional economists and economic geographers who have a world-wide reputation in promoting new thinking on regional economic development, globalisation, and intellectual capacity building. Each will be asked to examine the IWA s 2004 report and extend its analysis to absorb the globalisation and climate change debate that has developed over the last decade. How far can global policy tranfer enhance regional economic development, social cohesion, human rights and the engagement of civil society? in How far can moblising our intellectural resources give us an edge in address this question?
