During the last two decades, industrial cluster policies for promoting regional economic growth and industrial development have been flourishing all over the world. Even though cluster policies have partly contributed to regional industrial growth and innovation capabilities, they have long been blamed for regional industrial lock-ins and declining regional industrial resilience because of applying homeogenous cluster policies and regional specialized strategic industrial promotion policies for various localities, which are based on so-called 'selection and concentration' principle. This paper suggests postcluster policy focused on placed-based smart specialization and regional business platform strategies.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the role of the inter-regional knowledge network in the knowledge based economic development of regions, using regional data collected over the IMF financial crisis between 1996 and 2001. In particular, the major questions about the inter-regional knowledge network in terms of regional innovation are as follows. First, how can be distinguished the inter-regional knowledge networks among the regions? Secondly, what is the relationship between the real object economy and the inter-regional knowledge network? To answer rho questions listed above, the social network analysis is used to examine the association between the intra-regional knowledge linkage structure and the change of the real object economy. For the empirical analyses, regional labour data for 16 Metropolitan Areas(Si) and Provinces(Do) from 1996 to 2001 are used. The findings of the study suggest that there is a significant positive relationship between the concentration of the inter-regional knowledge linkage and a rate of economic growth of the real object economy and that there is a negative correlation between the density and the standard deviation of the inter-regional knowledge linkage and the rate.

지식경제부의 발표에 따르면, 세계 SW/IT융합 시장은 2010년 1.2조 달러에서 2015년 2조 달러, 2020년에는 3.6조 달러에 이르러 연평균 11.8%로 성장할 것으로 전망되고 있으며, 같은 기간 동안 세계경제성장률이 3~4%인 점을 감안한다면 이는 상당히 높은 성장률이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 추세에 맞추어 세계 각국은 빠르게 확산되고 있는 SW융합 환경에서 자국의 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 정책적으로 많은 노력을 기울이고 있으며, IT인프라의 확산 및 고도화를 통해 정보 지식기반의 사회로의 발전을 꾀하고 있다. 국내에서도 SW기업의 성장기반 확대 조성 및 시장 환경 개선을 위해, 2010년 2월 제45차 비상경제대책회의에서 범부처 차원의 SW산업 육성방안을 담은 'SW 강국 도약전략'을 수립하여, 국내 SW산업의 체질을 개선하고, SW분야의 신시장 창출을 위한 SW 산업 생태계 재편, SW 융합 수요 창출, SW 인재양성, SW 기술역량 제고 등 4대 핵심전략과 12개 정책 과제를 제시하였다. 그러나 국내의 SW산업분야에 대한 정책적인 지원 투자는 약 10년을 넘은 수준으로, 상대적으로 초기수준인 SW산업의 글로벌 경쟁력 확보를 위한 체계적이고 전략적인 지원이 필요하다. 특히, 지역기반의 SW산업은 서울 및 수도권에 비하여 사업체의 수, 생산액 등 모든 면에서 열세이므로 지역의 경제 및 산업에 있어서 SW산업의 중요성을 재인식하고 이에 따른 발전전략을 추진할 필요가 크다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 그동안의 지역 SW산업 지원 사업의 문제점과 지역 SW산업의 기반 현황 및 여건분석에 해당하는 지역적 특성, IT SW 산업의 시장 규모, IT SW 산업의 GRDP 비중 및 기여도, IT SW 산업의 사업체 수 및 종사자 수, 국내 산업단지 현황, IT SW 산업의 가치사슬, 지역 지원정책 등 다양한 변수들을 고려하여, 정부의 광역경제권발전전략의 핵심인 지역별 선도산업을 중심으로 한 SW융합사업으로서 시너지 창출이 가능한 지역발전전략을 수립하고자 한다. 또한, 국내외 SW산업의 정책 및 성공사례를 조사, 분석하여 SW산업 육성을 위한 지역발전정책의 방향성을 도출하여 광역경제권 수요기반의 신규 정책 및 제안을 통해 선택과 집중에 의한 지역 SW산업 육성 전략을 수립하고자 한다.

Incheon Free Economic Zone is the first free economic zone specified in 2003 in Korea. Previous research on the Free Economic Zone has focused on the activation of the free economic zone or foreign investment issue at the level of the national economic plan. Related to the development of a free economic zone, studies are currently insufficient on the relevance of the local economy, the development of linkages with hinterland, and the balanced regional development. Therefore, this study tried to investigate the impact of Incheon Free Economic Zone to the local economy through analyzing the causes and characteristics of the imbalance between the regions in Incheon by comparing before (1996~2002) and after (2003~2009) of the Incheon Free Economic Zone legislation (2003). The result shows that development of the free economic zone has not been connected to the local economy activation and the ripple effect on the old town in Incheon. Further, the construction of a large apartment and infrastructure in the free economic zones have increased the disparity between the free zones and the old town.

This paper aims to examine the characteristics of social enterprises in Jinju City, Korea and to provide policy recommendations for promoting the competitiveness of local social enterprises. There are 11 social enterprises in Jinju City that are certified by central and local governments. The survey shows that the majority of social enterprises in Jinju City are based on the local community and their activities are public in nature, including supporting the self-reliance of local under-privileged class or contributing to local socio-economic development. However, it is also revealed that local social enterprises have a great deal of difficulty in making a profit. Particularly, they have much trouble with sales of their services and products, largely due to the vulnerability of marketing and financial ability. This means that the local social enterprises are not capable of being viable in a severe market competition. Thus I suggest some important policy recommendation for invigorating local social enterprises, including the reform of governance system, expansion of public purchase of the products made by local social enterprises, and the facilitation of inter-organizational networking among local social economy agents.

Political and academic concerns on creative economy have been increased, despite of the debates on its concepts and socioeconomic implications. This article is an exploratory study about the mechanisms and the sources in which creative economy works. Due to ICT revolution and expansion of individual's networking competency, collective knowledge created by networking and city/region in which the collective knowledge has been embedded became the parts and parcels of creative economy. Three sources of creative city is as follows: regional peculiarity and locality from industrial clustering, intensity of urban networks(openness), and value orientations in regional problem solving.

This paper aims at analyzing the economic effect of the public financial expenditure on the national industrial complexes. Since public finance support is indirectly supplied to the national industrial complexes, the economic effect of the public financial expenditure on the national industrial complexes may be analyzed indirectly and circuitously In this contort, this paper uses 3 stage analysis method. In the first stage, the economic effect that the public financial expenditure influence the allotment, production and employment of companies residing in the national industrial complexes is analyzed by multiple regression analysis. In the second stage, the economic effect that the investment on the national industrial complexes influence the national and regional economies is analyzed by multiple regression analysis. In the third stage, the economic effect of the public financial expenditure on the national industrial complexes is analyzed through the compromising the results of the first and second stage. The main results of this paper are as follows. Firstly, public financial expenditure on the infrastructure of national industrial complexes leaded to positive growth of the allotment of companies residing in the national industrial complexes. Additionally, growth of the allotment of companies leaded to the positive effect on the production and employment of companies. And secondly, growth of the allotment of companies leaded to the positive effect on the gross regional domestic production. Finally, financial expenditure on the infrastructure of national industrial complexes leaded to positive effect on the national and regional economic growth through the compromising the results of the first and second stage.

The starting point of the research is the relation between capital restructuring and urban restructuring. The economic restructuring, which has been caused by the economic crisis in the early 1970s in the United States has brought a spatial restructuring at different geographic scales. The degree of the success of urban restructuring is contingent to the local economic and political environments. The local contingent factor such as local politics should not be neglected for investigating the restructuring process. Through the case study of Chicago, the research provides two inconsistencies in applying the structural approach to the local level: first, the lack of the theoretical link between crisis and restructuring; and second, the crucial importance of local politics in shaping urban development.
