Spatial inequalities and policies in South Africa: Place-based or people-centred? (2017, background): “On the other hand, it has been argued that governments should have explicit spatial targeting policies because there is potential for growth in many regions besides big cities (Barca, 2009; Dijkstra, 2013; OECD, 2009; Storper, 2010).”
Handbook of Local and Regional Development (2010, background): “…geographical concentration of growth (World Bank 2009) and the ‘place-based’ view of tackling persistent economic inefﬁ ciencies and social exclusion in speciﬁ c places to promote more balanced and distributed endogenous growth as the basis for EU cohesion policy (Barca 2009; see also Rigg et al .”
Relatedness, complexity and local growth (2020, unknown): “…specialisation policies (Foray et al., 2009, 2011), which encourage regions to upgrade their economic structure “by building on their existing capabilities” (Balland et al., 2018a) and which are a core component of the reformed EU Cohesion policy (Barca, 2009; McCann and Ortega-Argilés, 2015).”
Territorial attractiveness in EU urban and spatial policy: a critical review and future research agenda (2012, background): “…a place-based approach as referring to a restricted range of ‘special urban and spatial initiatives’ towards a more generic approach bringing together the territorial, the social and the economic dimensions in an integrated manner focused on meaningful places of intervention (see Barca, 2009: 93).”
From Conditionality to Europeanization in Central and Eastern Europe: Administrative Performance and Capacity in Cohesion Policy (2014, background): “These findings are echoed in policy-maker criticisms of Cohesion policy (Barca, 2009; EC, 2009) and underpin the European Commission’s proposals for improving the policy’s performance in the 2014–2020 period (EC, 2011).”
Place-based innovation policy for industrial diversification in regions (2018, background): “, 2011) as well as the Barca report from 2009 (Barca, 2009).”
Constructing Regional Advantage and Smart Specialisation: Comparison of Two European Policy Concepts (2014, background): “…concepts like constructing regional advantage (European Commission 2006; Asheim et al. 2011), platform policies (Harmaakorpi 2006; Cooke 2007), place-based development (Barca 2009) and smart specialization (Foray et al., 2009; 2011; McCann and Ortega-Argiles 2013; Morgan 2013) have been proposed.”
Efforts to Implement Smart Specialization in Practice—Leading Unlike Horses to the Water (2015, background): “In the course of the ensuing, well-argued dismissal of “one-size-fits-all” policies (Nauwelaers & Reid, 2002; Barca, 2009; Rodrı́guez-Pose, 2013), a need for place-based approaches was advocated not least on the grounds of differences in institutions (Tödtling & Trippl, 2005; Barca et al.”
Recent research on competitiveness and clusters: what are the implications for regional policy? (2013, background): “Even where this general principle is accepted, the policy advice often retains the notion that public investments should be made where the needs are most pressing, not necessarily where the economic returns are the highest (Barca, 2009; Walburn and Saublens, 2011).”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, methodology): “…al., 2009), other complementary approaches may be very appropriate, including the upgrading of local supply chains, the redesign of local labour-training systems, the promotion of university–industry linkages, or other local institutional reforms, exactly as recommended by the BARCA (2009) report.”
Questioning Polycentric Development and its Effects. Issues of Definition and Measurement for the Italian NUTS-2 Regions (2012, unknown): “…effects” are assumed to be the ideal ground for economies of scale and growth, which can be generated by the “networking between major agglomerations and their hinterland” and by “dense networks of big or middle sized cities” (Barca, 2009, 51). dispersed ones (Camagni et al., 2002 – p. 52).”
