“…Hence, Churski (2005), and Baláž (2007) point out a strong core-periphery pattern of regional development in CEE countries with a strengthening position of core regions. This pattern is explained by the increasing importance of agglomeration economies (Geppert, Stephan 2008), and by a spatially uneven distribution of human capital (Baláž 2007), innovations (Simmie, Carpenter 2008), and infrastructure (Baláž 2007).…”

Quaestiones Geograpicae 36(4), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 81-92, 7 tables, 1 fig. abstract: The intention of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on how the factors of socio-economic disadvantage and absorption capacity influence the spatial distribution of Structural Fund (SF) payments among the Czech Republic's micro-regions during the 2007-2013 programming period. The empirical results indicate that agglomeration economies, innovation and entrepreneurship are associated with higher SF absorption capacity and higher SF payments, challenging the tendency for socio-economically disadvantaged regions to converge. SF absorption capacity measured especially by the number of project applications submitted for SF financing and by the average SF budget per project application, is a crucial concept in order to understand the relationship between within-country regional disparities and SF interventions.

“…7 The explanation of the negative evolution shown by specific regions and/or clustersbeyond the triggering structural processesusually pays attention to what is known as endogenous blocks in the form of specific inherited structures (economic, socio-occupational, institutional, etc.) which limit their adaptation capacity, one of the manifestations of the so-called 'path dependence principle' (Martin and Sunley 2006;Simmie and Carpenter 2008), which highlights the accumulative character of decisions, the derived inertias and their influence on local evolutions which are often slowly transformed. firms belonging to the cluster increases as this convergence process continues, and the innovation potential is reduced because of the strong specialization and the concentration in a few firms.…”

The present research work shows the results obtained in an analysis of the existing literature about one of the ‘topics’ which arouses more interest among economists, geographers, theorists of business organization and strategic management or the actual officials in charge of territory arrangement and planning: that of clusters or industrial firm or groupings. More precisely, a total of 1,344 research papers published in different journals in the areas of economy, management, business, planning and development, urban studies and geography during the period 2000 and 2015 were analysed for the purpose of trying to identify and visualize the intellectual structure or knowledge base of the research developed about the aforementioned phenomena. As for the methodology utilized, of a quantitative nature, it is based on the use of bibliometric techniques – in particular, of document co‐citation analysis (DCA) – and of social networks analysis.

“…It was argued that initial events could provide strong feedback mechanisms that favour initial development over potential developments that are initiated later in time (Arthur, 1989;North, 1990;Pierson, 2000). Over the years, path dependency also became popular in other disciplines like sociology (Hall & Taylor, 1996;Gorges, 2001), political science (Mahoney, 2001a(Mahoney, , 2001b and economic geography (Arthur, 1988;Simmie & Carpenter, 2008). Especially in these fields, attention has shifted from stable situations towards accounts for change (Mahoney, 2001a;Hassink, 2005;Cappoccia & Kelemen, 2007;Martin, 2010), incorporating both incremental as well as more abrupt forms of change.…”

As a result of increasing competition and internationalization, many Western European cities have invested in exhibition facilities. Surprisingly, many new exhibition centres emerge in the urban periphery. An assessment of the 34 largest exhibition centres in Western Europe shows that only 16 are still centrally located while 18 now have a peripheral location. This is a drastic break from the traditional location of these centres in inner city cores. Behind this observation of spatial change is a complex set of dilemmas about investments in current or new locations. A fresh analytical model (based on assumptions of path dependency) is constructed and employed to analyse time and place specific determinants and opportunities. Two contrasting cases are selected in comparable German cities. Frankfurt decided to renew its facilities in the centre of the city, whereas Munich opened a relocated exhibition centre in 1998. Based on these case studies, the paper concludes that there is no autonomous force pulling exhibition centres towards the periphery, but it is rather a misfit between the central location and new physical, functional, spatial, and institutional demands that causes a facility to move. Rationale of the PaperThe periphery of metropolitan areas is changing. Functions that were traditionally reserved for inner city locations are now fundamentally reshaping the character of areas outside historic urban cores. Exhibition centres are amongst the functions for which this trend is most clearly manifested. Traditionally located at central locations, more than half of the facilities in Western Europe are now outside of the urban cores of their host cities.Thereby, exhibition centres are illustrative of a broader set of functions, amongst which are sports stadiums, universities, hospitals, shopping malls, and tourist attractions, that are reshaping metropolitan configurations and hierarchies. Such urban functions not only
