Rae, Alasdair - University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Hincks, Stephen - University of Manchester, United Kingdom

This panel session will be hosted by the Editors of Regional Studies, Regional Science, the RSA's gold open access journal. Editors-in-Chief Stephen Hincks and Alasdair Rae will discuss 'the state of open' more generally, the successes of RSRS to date, and clarify the rationale and objectives of open access publishing. We will present some findings on the open access publishing landscape by means of some analysis of data from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Now into our fourth year of publication since launching at the UCLA conference in late 2013, RSRS has published some of the most-read papers in our field during that time and offers authors a range of publication options, from standard-length papers of around 8,000 words to short regional graphics with commentary. We have also published work by scholars at all career stages, from PhD to Professor. We encourage everyone to attend and we make a renewed call for papers. We look forward to seeing you to this session.

Smart Specialisation & Evolutionary Economic Geography

Tuesday 06/06/2017 1130 - 1300, Emmet Theatre (Arts Building)

Chair: Dieter Kogler - University College Dublin, Ireland

Organisers: Deakin, Mark - Edinburgh Napier University, United Kingdom Mora, Luca - Politecnico do Milano, Italy Kogler, Dieter F. - University College Dublin, Ireland

This session will explore how recent progress in the field of Evolutionary Economic Geography can support the ambiguous European project of “Smart Specialisation”. Here the focus is directed at science and technology domains and in particular at their presence and connectedness at a given place. However, much of the evidence supporting Smart Specialisation theories is anecdotal. Evolutionary Economic Geography on the other hand is working on a number of systematic approaches capable of identifying the local knowledge bases, while also measuring how relatedness among such domains advances over time in a path-dependent fashion. Based on this the following idea has been put forward: if one manages to quantify domain and connectedness, ceteris paribus, one should also be able to predict future trajectories of regional development, and thus be able to advise regions in what areas of economic activity to invest on order to create a competitive edge that rests on local scientific and technological expertise that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Panellist will discuss the feasibility of such an idea in light of recent theoretical and empirical advancements.

This session will explore new economic-political landscapes following the shock victories of Brexit and Trump and will reflect on their global, regional and local implications. Is globalisation going into reverse? What consequences will this have for local and regional economies? What does BrexiTrump mean for global cities and for the architecture and regulation of global finance? There is an urgent need to reflect on some of the challenges posed by these tectonic events, both for economic and financial geography and for global society. Come and join the debate!

By the end of the 21st century, most of the world’s population will be urbanized and increasingly concentrated in large cities. The OECD argue that for each doubling in population size, the economic performance of cities increases by 2-5%. This would suggest that we are entering an era of bigger cities and a concomitant rise in the importance of metropolitan scale planning and development. However the OECD also highlighted the need to overcome jurisdictional fragmentation in order to achieve effective metropolitan governance. Within this context: What are the major planning challenges that will face national governments, city governments and urban residents? What are the major barriers facing and opportunities brought about by enhanced metropolitanisation? How can smaller cities learn from already-existing major metropolitan regions?
