#EU #cohesion funds assume regional inequality is a passing rash: apply money, await recovery.
Petrakos, Alexiou & Sotiriou show in Growth and Change that #discontent isn’t a symptom of stagnation but a cause.
Hence, ignoring regions in a #DevelopmentTrap weakens the EU.

The 2nd Workshop for Early Career #Women in #Economic Geography & Spatial #Economics takes place 16-17 March.
Join @sbagagli.bsky.social & @elenarenzullo.bsky.social for two days of discussion with @maryannfeldman.bsky.social & @camhemet.bsky.social.
Deadline: Thursday.

#Europe’s #green #transition is less a rising tide and more a series of localised shocks. As Costantini, Paglialunga & Zanoni show, a "just" transition remains a geographic lottery. Prosperity depends on industrial DNA and the luck of the map. doi.org/10.1016/j.ei...

Looking for a job in academia? Itching to teach some of the brightest students in the world? LSE Geography & #Environment is hiring in Economic #Geography & Urban #Planning — where teaching leads, not follows.
But rush, deadline 11 Jan, or spend another year wondering.

The digital divide is an institutional design, not a technical glitch. @dbreznitz.bsky.social, Jane Gingrich & Amos Zehavi argue in Industrial and Corporate Change that #innovation-driven equity lies in the dull detail of #governance, not in the novelty of the tool.

Prosperity and neglect are equally potent politically radicalising agents. As Adamiak, Churski, thers & I show in @rsa-tpg.bsky.social, #Poland’s spatial duel means that the ‘places that matter’ have mobilised to shield their interests from the 'places that don't matter'.

#Publish or perish? Not quite. In TIBG, Leiboyu Xiang, @neillee.bsky.social & I argue the real divide isn’t who prints the most article pages, but who produces high-impact, elite #research. Four wold hubs dominate when quantity meets influence in scientific production.

We treat #innovation as a self-sustaining engine, forgetting it requires the ballast of good #instititutions.
Borsekova, Korony, Styk, Westlund & me show in our new PiRS paper that in CEE, #governance deficits are a hard ceiling on technical talent.

Urban life needn’t be a binary choice between #metropolitan sclerosis & provincial stagnation. As Searle, @annforsythplan.bsky.social, Gurran & Darcy argue in #Cities, the intermediate city offers a Goldilocks third way: vibrancy without the punishing #urban diseconomies. doi.org/10.1016/j.ci...

Governments cannot "message" their way out of a geography of #discontent. Writing in Regional Science Policy & Practice, Torre and @bourdinseb.bsky.social suggest that only territorial justice can repair the symbolic hierarchies that treat certain #regions as obsolete.

The creative economy is less a series of spontaneous eruptions and more a matter of historical plumbing. Büyükyazıcı & @evacoll8.bsky.social show in @regionalstudies.bsky.social that hubs are built on latent skills, not conjured from thin air. #Culture by habit, not miracle. doi.org/10.1080/0034...

#EU green spending can, some times, actually raise emissions, according to Marco Dueñas & Antoine Mandel in their brand new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper.
Where #institutions are weak, #green budgets dissolve into near-term, high-emission expansion.
