This article deals with changes of a spatial structure of the world economy, which has complex and heterogeneous hierarchy. It specifies that multipurposeness and complex structuring are becoming global signs of regionalization proc­esses and highlights the enhanced role of regional competitiveness within the context of global transformation. The emphasis is laid upon the objectiveness of the global regionalization process, which characterizes processes of the world economy development whilst global regions are becoming its main system ele­ments. This paper stresses that global regionalization development is reflected through a new global space structure. It suggests a methodic toolbox of compre­hensive assessment of regional integration development processes with due consideration of various aspects (trade, industrial and market integration), which provides for a comparative analysis of global regions' development or of certain integration associations according to the development level of integration proc­esses on the basis of suggested integrated index.

This paper examines the intentionality behind the emergence of megaregion in Indonesia’s reinvented developmentalist state tradition. Illustrated by the case of Java, this paper explores the role of regional planning in facilitating megaregion emergence. It reveals that sectoral and ad hoc national planning policies, although not intentionally aimed to guide spatial development, implicitly promote the emergence of this megaregion. This is particularly registered in the construction of megaprojects aimed at increasing regional competitiveness through the improvement of interregional connectivity and facilitating exurbanization through the building of in-between cities.

There is a major interest in analyzing the role of intangible assets on sustainable development, which is a topic under the auspices of the so-called 5th stage of research. Cooperatives are enterprises directly committed to sustainable development due to their dual nature–economic and social. This paper is based on a literature review and proposes a theoretical model based on intangible assets for understanding the role of cooperatives as drivers of sustainable development. The findings show that these assets are involved in regional competitiveness and especially evident when considering cooperatives. It can be concluded that, when focusing the attention on cooperatives, it is useful to use a multilevel approach (micro and macro levels) to understand the whole process of interaction between intangible assets and sustainable development. The model aims to contribute to a line of research of great potential, but is also a practical tool for reflecting on cooperativism and for government agencies.

In the background of climate issues of much worldwide attention, developing low carbon economy has become the mutual choice of all countries in the world. China is now currently facing serious international emission reduction pressure and economy development energy environment restriction. Japan, as an island country with extremely poor energy, is the most active advocator and promoter of low carbon economy, and through many years of low carbon development, it has accumulated rich experience. This paper discusses Japanese environment protection and low carbon path from the mutual interaction role of Japanese garbage classification recycling and low carbon economy, so as to combine Jilin Province garbage disposal feature to analyze our province to refer to the garbage processing mode.

Purpose This paper aims to contribute to understanding regional competitiveness policy-making and the role academic organisations can play in that process. Competitiveness policies have evolved in the past decades from a single to a multiple-domain field, which has made the policy-making process more complex by adding more actors with their particular experience and view. This complexity, together with the relevance of overcoming traditional policy implementation failures, pleads for a new approach to competitiveness policy-making, in which academic organisations can act as “anchor institutions”. This framework is based on the adaptive implementation concept. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses the Basque case to analyse the role of universities in competitiveness policy-making and focuses on a specific academic organisation, which has contributed through different projects to regional policy-making. Evidences from those projects through different policy phases are included in the case. Findings The case shows how academic organisations might play a key role in fostering an adaptive implementation approach in competitiveness policy-making at the regional level and which specific characteristics these organisations should develop to fulfil this role. Originality/value This paper brings together two important issues for regional competitiveness: the importance of policy implementation and the particular role of engaged universities in such a process.

This paper explores the experience of the University of Aveiro in attempting to promote a favourable environment for innovation in the Portuguese industrial region in which it is located. The authors first discuss the barriers faced by peripheral regions in their attempts to establish the continuous interactive process that feeds innovation. They then highlight the role played in such regions by higher education institutions (HEIs) as the main sources of knowledge, and as crucial agents in fostering the social learning processes needed to sustain regional competitiveness. Against this background, the organizational challenges and requirements associated with the role of HEIs in peripheral regions are explored. Finally, the authors emphasize the need for specifically designed intermediate structures linking academia and society and, using the case of Aveiro, examine the process of institutional innovation and learning.

Physical Infrastructure

A competitive advantage has been one of the most important issues in national and regional policy documents in the last decade. Regional policy attempted to make regions more competitive by attracting internationally competitive firms, however with partial success. The search for a new approach to regional development is now mainly focused on making domestic firms more competitive. This has led to an emphasis on regional ‘‘assets” as the source of firm competitive capacity, not only physical infrastructure but also other ‘‘soft” or less tangible factors. Regional competitiveness is a key theme in national territorial reviews, in work on urban policy and spatial planning. As a major regional issue to increase competitiveness, which is analysed in spatial planning documents is accessibility, spatial diversity, open space and quality of urban vitality.
