    (Regional) Smart Specialisation – A new push for regionalism in Europe?
    in Europe en formation (L') , 2016/1 (n° 379) ,  2016 ,  180-194
    Smart specialisation is a concept that has been introduced in regional development policy by the European Commission by its communication “Regional Policy contributing to smart growth in Europe 2020”. With smart specialisation strategies, all regions, including the ones that are far from the technology frontier, are trying to identify their innovation niches, based on bottom-up search processes. The main hypothesis of this paper is that the development of new governance structures in order to implement the innovation strategy in each region in the European Union plays an important role in enhancing regionalism and ‘Europe of Regions’.
