“…Territory, scale and regulative structures have taken much of the centre ground of the regionalism debate ( Brenner 2000, Storper 1997, Storper and Salais1997, Hudson 2001. Business interests and investment have thus somewhat margnalised other factors, such as social and political and institutional particularities which are seen merely as subservient to the goal of maximised competitiveness (Scott 1998, Cooke and Morgan 1998, Barnes and Ledebur 1997. But this view is somewhat one sided (see MacLeod 2001, Lovering 1999, as it presumes a standard form of 'good practice' response, driven by institutional-territorial parameters.…”

Abstract:This paper investigates the dual nature of regionalisation between imposed institutionalised territoriality and self-made 'ad hoc' collaborative regional arrangements between localities. This involves, as the paper sets out to show, different, but concurrent imagineerings of 'regions' to two audiences -within and without a defined region, and applied to the same territory, albeit with different images and sets of actors for internal (local) and external (national/international) consumption. These developments are examined within the context of the 'new regionalism' debate, in particular the notion of a replacement of 'old' through 'new' regionalism as a sequence. This duality of region making challenges the frequently somewhat simplistic presumption of regions forming as one complete entity, 'out there' to compete on a global market. They also have to fight for their recognition internally, but with different arguments, rationales and policies. This means that the possibility of overlapping single purpose ad-hoc formed regions, as postulated under the new regionalism, needs to take into account the likelihood of several meanings of one and the same territory. The examples demonstrate that the two possibilities overlap -multi-territoriality and multimeanings of (new) regionalism. The paper uses the example of post-unification eastern Germany, where in 1990 a completely new set of traditional regions was established, implementing a 1960s-derived western German model. Since this common starting point, strong economic, cultural and geographic differences have emerged, leading not only to policy adjustments, but also changes to the understanding of regionalisation and regional policy, and the actors involved.

“…Economic analysts have attributed the rise of regions to the changing nature of economic relationships in an information age and, in particular, to the importance of business clusters and networks at a metropolitan level (Sabel, 1988;Saxenian, 1997). For the United States, various studies have demonstrated that the national economy has become less of a unified whole and that regional economic performance is now more heterogeneous within the United States than it was in earlier decades; as a result, the US economy might now be better thought of as a "common market" of regional economies (Barnes and Ledebur, 1998).…”

“…In a study originally done for the League of Cities, Barnes and Ledebur (1998) examined 78 metropolitan areas in the United States and found that those regions with the widest gap between central city and suburban income in 1980 had the most sluggish job growth during the following decade. Furthermore, the 25 fastest growing set of metropolitan suburbs (identified by change in median household income) all had central cities that also experienced income growth.…”

“…The authors of the report argue that we must rethink our basic policy framework regarding the intergovernmental relationship between nation, state, and locality. 8 Relevant to this regional perspective, Central New Mexico, home to Albuquerque and Sandia, is actively involved in an ongoing initiative to strengthen the region's ability to foster development in six industry clusters.…”

Technology Transfer from Sandia National Laboratories and Technology Commercialization by MODE/Emcore

This case study describes a success in technology transfer out of Sandia National Laboratories that resulted in commercialization supporting both the laboratories' national security mission and economic development. This case exemplifies how the process of technology innovation stretches from national legislation to laboratory management to entrepreneurs, and then out into the community where the technology must be developed and commercialized if innovation is to occur. Two things emerged from the research for this case study that have implications for technology transfer and commercialization from other national laboratories and may also be relevant to technology commercialization out of other federal laboratories and universities. The first is the very clear theme that partnerships were critical to the ultimate successful commercialization of the technology-partnerships between public and private research groups as well as between business development groups. The second involves identifiable factors that played a role in moving the process forward to successful commercialization. All of the factors, with two significant exceptions, focused on technology and business development directly related to creating research and business partnerships. The two exceptions, a technology with significant market applications, and entrepreneurs willing and able to take the risks and accomplish the hard work of technology innovation, were initiating requirements for the process. 2Intentionally Left Blank 3
