Theories of regional economic development: a brief survey
Main Article Content
Resumo
Este artigo oferece uma síntese das principais teorias de desenvolvimento regional que têm servido de orientação a estratégias e programas de desenvolvimento regional e local levadas a cabo ao longo das últimas décadas. Quatro objectivos principais estão subjacentes a esta síntese. O primeiro é apresentar as principais características das várias teorias de desenvolvimento regional. O segundo é destacar as semelhanças e contrastes entre elas. O terceiro é avaliar os seus principais pontos fortes e pontos fracos tendo em vista salientar o contexto regional em que cada teoria oferece um melhor enquadramento de análise. O quarto é discutir os factores ignorados pelas principais teorias de desenvolvimento regional que a evidência empírica recente tem demonstrado terem um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento regional numa era de globalização económica. Entre eles, e com particular relevância para regiões localizadas em economias desenvolvidas, estão o enquadramento institucional, a existência de um “milieu” local propício à inovação e à competitividade tecnológica, e a capacidade empresarial local.
