This chapter focuses on the actors of knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship, as comparative advantages towards regional sustainable development. The chapter describes the analytical framework in which technical change, innovation and entrepreneurship activities are considered as among the most important factors influencing sustainable economic development, both in national and regional level. Within this analytical framework, the chapter aims to provide a clear understudying of the main related questions summarized in the following: To which extent economic development depends on the presence of a network favorable to knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship, based on the endogenous development capabilities? How could the level of regional innovation activities be enhanced? How could the effect of innovation activities on regional development be estimated? What is the relative position of a region as far as development and innovation competitiveness are concerned?

“Innovation driven” is the proper term for promoting regional sustainable development under the general goal of national high-quality development. University–industry collaboration (UIC) has become an important innovation resource for regional sustainable development. The study aims to analyze the influencing factors and mediating mechanisms of university–industry collaboration scientific and technological (S&T) and business activities oriented for regional sustainable development in 30 provinces in China (excluding Tibet). Specifically, we used the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling method to test the effects of innovation climate and resource endowments on regional sustainable development through two mode pathways of university–industry collaboration activities. The results show that the innovation climate and resource endowments significantly affect UIC in scientific and technological innovation activities, and then affect the regional economic development and human capital. UIC S&T innovation activities play positive mediating roles in promoting regional sustainable development. In addition, the innovation climate does not significantly impact the business activities of UIC. Therefore, region can get a greater sustainable development through UIC S&T innovation activities than business activities. Much more UIC S&T activities can improve the economic development, human capital, and environmental conditions in the region.

Regional Innovation Policy

The evolutionary changes of the paradigms of the economic development of the region are investigated in the context of theories: neo-classical and theory of regional economic development, Keynesian theory, theory of monetarism, theory of economic rationalism, theories of comparative, competitive and common advantages, theories of globalization, sustainable development, selfdevelopment and endogenous development, new theory of growth. The role of innovations in the analyzed paradigmatic shifts, as well as the essence of regional innovation policy are determined. The analysis of the evolution of the paradigms of regional economic development revealed the following qualitative changes: the expansion of the production function with such variables as technology, training, entrepreneurship; Attribution to the factors of regional development, along with economic factors, as well as social, cultural and institutional factors; The characteristic of the development of the economy by its ability to generate innovation; Transformation of technologies, science and innovations into development catalysts in a new era of industry; Inclusion of social and environmental components into the strategic planning of economic development, the emergence of an integrated strategic planning of regional development; Moving the focus of regional strategic planning towards competitive advantages based on less intrusive factors such as efficiency, productivity, quality indicators; Transformation of comparative and competitive advantages towards common advantages that stimulate enterprises and regions to collaborate and innovate; Giving the state the role of companion and entrepreneur in regional economic development; The development of local innovative ecosystems on the basis of endogenous factors and with the preservation of its global orientation (the process of glocalization); Defining a human-oriented strategy of state development as the basis of an innovative society, which respects human rights and freedoms, and decent living conditions for people are the goal of development.

Abstract Concepts of national and regional innovation systems can serve as an analytical framework forming the empirical base for innovation policy creation. It is possible to distinguish various types of these systems. One of these typologies is based on the assessment of innovation deficiencies. There are three types of regions: metropolitan, peripheral, and old industrial. Metropolitan regions can be characterized by a high level of research, innovation, and patent activity. The aims of this paper are to find relevant indicators that can be used as the basis for defining metropolitan regional innovation systems and using them for the identification of Czech metropolitan regions. The results of the point method combined with the cluster analysis showed that the capital city, Prague, as well as the South Moravian, Pardubice, Central Bohemian, Pilsen, and Liberec Regions can be defined as metropolitan regions.

Every year, the importance of innovation policy as a part of economy’s sustainable development is growing. The state approaches this policy thoroughly enough and carefully searches for ways of the most effective formation of the national innovation infrastructure. In this regard, the "Triple helix" model must be considered as one of the most successful models of innovation development of mining regions’ economy. The analysis of the possibilities of its implementation in the mining region (on example of Kemerovo region, Western Siberia, Russia) should be based upon the experience of another mineral resource region – Tomsk oblast. Among the problems hampering the effective functioning of the triplehelix model in the Kemerovo region, the authors describe the reduction in the staff engaged in research and development, intellectual and business migration, low financial activity, lack of support from federal and regional authorities. Only by implementing a system of measures aimed at applying the "Triple helix" model as the basis for regional innovation system, Kemerovo region can change its way for sustainable development.

The quotation appearing on page 577 should read: The smart specialisation process is primarily being employed to rationalise and justify the Welsh Government’s pre-existing sector-based approach to innovation and economic development. Certain important elements of smart specialisation have been sidelined in the process, in particular the process of entrepreneurial discovery. (Pugh, 2014: 152)

Political Economy Approach

This article explores in what ways political economy as an analytical framework for developmental studies has contributed to scholarships on Indonesian’s contemporary discourse of development. In doing so, it reviews important scholarly works on Indonesian political and economic development since the 1980s. The argument is that given sharp critiques directed at its conceptual and empirical utility for understanding changes taking place in modern Indonesian polity and society, the political economy approach continues to be a significant tool of research specifically in broader context of comparative politics applied to Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia. The focus of this exploration, however, has shifted from the formation of Indonesian bourgeoisie to the reconstitution of bourgeois oligarchy consisting of the alliance between the politico-bureaucratic elite and business families. With this in mind, the parallel relationship of capitalist establishment and the development of the state power in Indonesia is explainable.<br>
