Abstract

Moulaert F. and Mehmood A. Analysing regional development and policy: a structural-realist approach, Regional Studies. This paper gives an overview of theories and models that can be used to analyse regional development as well as to design policies and strategies for the future of regions and localities. It evaluates the analytical and policy relevance of these models, and as it moves towards analytical synthesis, it makes some recommendations for a structural-realist approach to spatial development analysis. It offers a methodological framework for contemporary spatial development analysis by combining regulationist, cultural political economy and network theoretical approaches, and taking full cognisance of the structural-institutional, scalar, and cultural dimensions of development processes and strategies. [image omitted] Moulaert F. et Mehmood A. Analyser l'amenagement du territoire: une facon structuralo-realiste, Regional Studies. Cet article fournit une vue d'ensemble des theories et des modeles a employer afin d'analyser l'amenagement du territoire aussi bien que de mettre au point des politiques et des strategies en faveur de l'avenir des regions et des endroits. On evalue l'importance analytique et de politique de ces modeles et, au fur et a mesure que l'on commence a penser une synthese analytique, on fait quelques recommandations en faveur d'une facon structuralo-realiste pour analyser le developpement spatial. On propose un cadre methodologique pour analyser le developpement spatial contemporain en associant des facons reglementaires, d'economie politique culturelle, et theoriques de reseaux, tout en tenant compte des aspects structuralo-institutionnels, scalaires et culturelles des processus et des strategies de developpement. Modeles d'innovation territoriale Nouveau regionalisme Amenagement du territoire Sentier de dependance Structure sociale, institutions et culture Realisme structurel Moulaert F. und Mehmood A. Analyse der Regionalentwicklung und Politik: ein strukturell-realistischer Ansatz, Regional Studies. Dieser Artikel enthalt eine Ubersicht uber die Theorien und Modelle, die sich zur Analyse der regionalen Entwicklung sowie zur Gestaltung von Politiken und Strategien fur die Zukunft von Regionen und Orten heranziehen lassen. Wir analysieren die analytische und politische Relevanz dieser Modelle und machen beim Ubergang zur analytischen Synthese einige Empfehlungen fur einen strukturierten, realistischen Ansatz zur Analyse der raumlichen Entwicklung. Der Artikel bietet einen methodologischen Rahmen zur Analyse der aktuellen raumlichen Entwicklung, indem er die regulationistischen, kulturpolitisch-wirtschaftlichen und netzwerktheoretischen Ansatze miteinander kombiniert und zugleich die strukturell-institutionellen, skalaren und kulturellen Dimensionen der Entwicklungsprozesse und -strategien vollstandig zur Kenntnis nimmt. Territoriale Innovationsmodelle Neuer Regionalismus Regionalentwicklung Pfadabhangigkeit Sozialstruktur, Institutionen und Kultur Struktureller Realismus Moulaert F. y Mehmood A. Analisis del desarrollo y la politica regional: un enfoque realista estructural, Regional Studies. Este articulo contiene un resumen de las teorias y los modelos que pueden servir para analizar el desarrollo regional y disenar las politicas y estrategias para el futuro de las regiones y localidades. Evaluamos la relevancia analitica y politica de estos modelos y segun se va desplazando hacia una sintesis analitica hacemos recomendaciones sobre un planteamiento realista y estructural para el analisis del desarrollo espacial. Aqui ofrecemos una estructura metodologica para el analisis contemporaneo del desarrollo espacial al combinar enfoques regulatorios, de la economia politica cultural y planteamientos teoricos de redes a la vez que intentamos reconocer completamente las dimensiones institucionales-estructurales, escalares y culturales de los procesos y estrategias del desarrollo.
