Abstract

Wink R. Transregional institutional learning in Europe: prerequisites, actors and limitations, Regional Studies. Transregional institutional learning has become a buzzword in European policy-making during the last decade. A theoretical concept about how to initiate, observe, and support transregional institutional learning, however, is still missing. The following paper provides a theoretical framework to explain preconditions for transregional institutional learning and investigates the potentials of three different channels for learning: multinational firms, benchmarking studies and projects, and interactive policy networks. The results show that there is not much proof for enthusiastic expectations on future learning processes, but options for European Union policies to enhance transregional learning effects. [image omitted] Wink R. L'apprentissage institutionnel interregional en Europe: les prealables, les agents et les limites, Regional Studies. L'apprentissage institutionnel interregional est devenu un mot branche dans la mise au point des politiques en Europe pendant les dix dernieres annees. Il manque toujours une notion theorique de comment piloter, observer et soutenir l'apprentissage institutionnel interregional. Cet article cherche a fournir un cadre theorique pour expliquer les conditions prealables de l'apprentissage institutionnel interregional et examine le potentiel de trois filieres d'apprentissage: a savoir, les societes multinationales, les etudes et les projets sur la fixation des points de reference et les reseaux de politique interactifs. Les resultats laissent voir un manque de preuves quant aux attentes positives des futurs processus d'apprentissage, mais plutot des options concernant les politiques de l'Ue destinees a ameliorer les effets d'apprentissage interregionaux.

Transregionales institutionelles Lernen in Europa: Voraussetzungen, Akteure und Grenzen, Regional Studies. Transregionales institutionelles Lernen ist als Ziel in zahlreichen politischen Programmen der vergangenen Jahre formuliert worden. Ein theoretisches Konzept der Initiierung, Messung und Forderung institutionellen Lernens fehlt jedoch bislang. Der folgende Text bietet eine solche theoretische Grundlage zur Erklarung wesentlicher Voraussetzungen transregionalen institutionellen Lernens und wendet dieses theoretische Konzept auf Erfahrungen mit drei unterschiedlichen Kanalen transregionalen Lernens an: multinationale Unternehmen, benchmarking Untersuchungen und Projekte und interactive Politiknetzwerke einzelner Akteure. Die Ergebnisse geben nicht viel Anlass zu grossen Erwartungen an transregionale institutionelle Lernprozesse im allgemeinen, bieten aber zumindest einige Optionen eines veranderten Einsatzes der EU-Instrumente, um transregionale institutionelle Lerneffekte zu erhohen.

Aprendizaje institucional transregional en Europa: requisitos previos, protagonistas y limitaciones, Regional Studies. En la ultima decada el termino 'aprendizaje institucional transregional' se ha puesto de moda en la elaboracion de las politicas europeas. Sin embargo, todavia falta un concepto teorico sobre como iniciar, observar y apoyar el aprendizaje institucional transregional. En el siguiente documento se incluye una estructura teorica para explicar las precondiciones para el aprendizaje institucional transregional y se investigan las posibilidades de tres diferentes canales de aprendizaje: las empresas multinacionales, los estudios y proyectos de analisis comparativo, y las redes de politicas interactivas. Los resultados indican que no existen muchas pruebas de expectativas entusiastas sobre los futuros procesos de aprendizaje; sin embargo, existen opciones para las politicas de la UE a fin de mejorar los efectos del aprendizaje transregional.
