Abstract

Clinch J. P. and O'Neill E. Applying spatial economics to national spatial planning, Regional Studies. Despite the impressive development of the field of spatial economics, some have criticized the lack of policy applications. In addition, the literature has not yet identified the relevance of New Economic Geography, and spatial economics generally, for national spatial planning. This is surprising considering the interest in spatial planning policy in Europe. By combining old theories of trade and space with New Economic Geography, this paper applies spatial economics to national spatial planning and examines a case study of Ireland. The paper suggests that spatial economics provides a useful theoretical framework for the analysis of national spatial planning policy, but suffers from deficiencies in respect of its consideration of social and environmental aspects of planning and development.

En depit du progres impressionnant de l'economie geographique, certains ont commente le manque d'applications de politique. En outre, la documentation n'a pas encore identifie l'importance pour l'amenagement du territotoire ni de la nouvelle geographie economique, ni de l'economie geographique en general. Cela est a surprendre etant donne l'interet porte a l'amenagement du territoire en Europe. Alliant les theories recues a propos du commerce et de la geographie avec la nouvelle geographie economique, cet article cherche a appliquer l'economie geographique a l'amenagement du territoire et examine l'Irlande comme etude de cas. L'article laisse supposer que l'economie geographique fournit un cadre theorique utile pour analyser l'amenagement du territoire mais manque de consideration des aspects sociaux et environnementaux de la planification et du developpement. Economie geographique Nouvelle geographie economique Amenagement du territoire Politique geographique Politique regionale Irlande Clinch J. P. und O'Neill E. Anwendung der Raumokonomie auf die nationale Raumplanung, Regional Studies. Trotz der beeindruckenden Entwicklungen im Gebiet der Raumokonomie wird gelegentlich eine Kritik am Mangel an politischen Anwendungen laut. Hinzu kommt, dass die Relevanz der neuen Wirtschaftsgeografie und der Raumokonomie im Allgemeinen fur eine nationale Raumplanung in der Literatur noch nicht identifiziert wurde. Angesichts des Interesses fur Raumplanungspolitik in Europa ist dies uberraschend. In diesem Aufsatz wird die Raumokonomie durch eine Kombination der alten Theorien von Handel und Raum mit der neuen Wirtschaftsgeografie auf die nationale Raumplanung angewandt, wobei eine Fallstudie in Irland untersucht wird. Wir stellen die These auf, dass die Raumokonomie einen nutzlichen theoretischen Rahmen zur Analyse der nationalen Raumplanungspolitik bietet, aber an Mangeln leidet, was die Berucksichtigung von Gesellschafts- und Umweltaspekten der Planung und Entwicklung anbelangt.

Aplicacion de la economia espacial a la planificacion espacial nacional, Regional Studies. Pese al impresionante desarrollo en el campo de la economia espacial, se ha criticado la falta de aplicaciones politicas. Asimismo la literatura todavia no ha identificado la importancia de la nueva geografia economica, y de la economia espacial en general, para la planificacion espacial a nivel nacional. Esto resulta sorprendente si consideramos el interes en la politica de planificacion espacial en Europa. Combinando las antiguas teorias de comercio y espacio con la nueva geografia economica, en este articulo aplicamos la economia espacial a la planificacion espacial a nivel nacional y examinamos un caso practico de Irlanda. Aqui sugerimos que la economia espacial ofrece una estructura teorica util para el analisis de la politica en la planificacion espacial nacional pero adolece de deficiencias con respecto a su consideracion de aspectos sociales y medioambientales en la planificacion y el desarrollo.
