Global Connections

Synthesising the endogenous-centred evolutionary economic geography perspective, and the globally oriented ‘global pipelines’ and global production networks frameworks, this article develops the ‘boundary spanner’ concept to propose a theoretical framework to illustrate how resourceful actors, as boundary spanners, globalise clusters and in turn drive cluster evolution. This framework comprises four interrelated cluster boundary-spanning functions, namely, discursive construction, innovation promotion, production coordination and market reach. This article aims to advance the cluster literature by unpacking how clusters’ global connections are constructed and maintained, conceptualising the multidimensional role of the agency of boundary spanners and demonstrating boundary spanners’ contributions to cluster evolution.

AbstractThe old open cluster M 67 is an ideal test case for current star cluster evolution models because of its dynamically evolved structure and rich stellar populations that show clear signs of interaction between stellar, binary and cluster evolution. Here we discuss a direct N-body model of M 67. This model of 12,000 single stars and 12,000 binaries is evolved from zero-age and takes full account of cluster dynamics as well as stellar and binary evolution. At an age of 4 Gyr the model cluster matches the mass and structure of M 67 as constrained by observations. We discuss the role of the primordial binary population and the cluster environment in shaping the nature of the stellar populations of M 67, with a focus on X-ray binaries and blue stragglers.

ABSTRACTBoron implantation into preamorphized Si, followed by low temperature solid phase epitaxial (SPE) regrowth produces high activation combined with low diffusion. However, in the presence of high B concentrations, the activation obtained after the SPE regrowth only can reach concentrations in the order of a few times 1020 cm−3, and even more deactivation occurs during additional annealing. We have analyzed the role of the Si interstitials injected from the end of range (EOR) damage in B deactivation and reactivation by atomistic simulations. We have shown that the B cluster evolution can be clearly correlated to the evolution of Si interstitial defects at EOR. This is also compatible with B cluster stabilization in the presence of excess Si interstitials, observed in oxidation experiments.

This article identifies the main drivers in the evolution of the banking cluster in Prague over the last two centuries. Conceptually, it employs the adaptive-cycle model of cluster evolution, which acknowledges the role of external factors in cluster evolution. An empirical analysis shows that the evolution of the banking cluster in Prague has been primarily driven by several episodes of major external disruptions. A particular attention is paid to the latest phase of cluster evolution, which started around the beginning of the 21st century when Prague’s banks were taken over by foreign multinational groups. We argue that, despite the numerous costs and risks associated with this “subsidiarisation” of the banking cluster in Prague, there were benefits, some of which were surprisingly manifested during the 2008–2009 global economic crisis.
