Project: Path contingency and path innovation of regional policies in old and new economy locations

ESR 7: Bradley Loewen (Host: MEPCO)

Description: The concept of path contingency creates an opportunity to understand factors shaping regional policy responses in old and new economy locations and to identify the actions and practices that may alter the current path and set the regions on new development trajectories. Based on comparative research with CERS HAS and UT in the Czech Republic, Estonia and Hungary, the project will analyse regional development policies in both old and new economy locations and study the potentials for path innovation.
