  • Competition and Cooperation of the Cities: Vienna-Bratislava Metropolitan Region
    Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Economics 2nd Central European Conference in Regional Science – CERS, 2007 – 354 – ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Competition and Cooperation of the Cities: Vienna-Bratislava Metropolitan Region MATEJ JAŠŠO Department of Spatial Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology Nám. Slobody 19, 812 45 Bratislava Slovakia [email protected] Abstract Transformation and restructuring of European cities and regions has been confirmed as one of the key topics of social and economic discourse of the recent years. Integration on the European level is an important process which yields to a common market. Accordingly, the pressure of competition does not only increase for private enterprises but even for cities and regions as a whole. Struggling for competitive advantages of the particular city or region has been getting more and more significant in their developmental strategies and policies. Regions and cities are successively forced to compete for foreign investments in economic, cultural or tourism fields in which all the relevant actors are highly mobile and sensitive to the standards of location factors on the urban-regional level. Vienna- Bratislava region is situated in one of the principal cross-points in Europe and is an integral part of numerous sectoral networks. It is a place, where both the problems as well as the opportunities after the removal of iron curtain had been appeared in utmost visible way, representing two interlinked trends and their beneficial effects on the development and growth in unified Europe: the lowering of the importance of national barriers with the forthcoming integration of national, regional and local economies, and on the other hand the emergence of new development poles in the form of functional regions that cut across administrative borders.

  • Banknote Migration in the CENTROPE Region
    √ Workshops Proceedings of OeNB Workshops New Regional Economics in Central European Economies: The Future of CENTROPE New Regional Economics in Central European Economies European Economics in Central Regional New 9 March 30 to 31, 2006 No. Workshops N0. N0. Workshops EUROSYSTEM 9 Banknote Migration in the CENTROPE Region Anton Schautzer Oesterreichische Nationalbank 1. Introduction The objectives of central banks within the framework of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) are well defined and aligned to the assignment of the European Central Bank (ECB). Every central bank has to adjust its activities due to its specific environment which is determined and influenced by the size and vitality of the economy as well as by the competitive position and structure of the financial market. Of course, structural shifts have an impact on the decision making processes in central banks. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) has been facing four major shifts of its political and economic environment within the last decade. In 1995 Austria joined the European Union, in 1999 Austria was a founding member state of the European Monetary Union, in 2002 the euro cash was introduced and in 2004 the enlargement of the European Union by ten countries (four of them having a common border with Austria) took place. All of these historical events represented an important challenge for the OeNB, and in all four cases the OeNB adjusted to the new framework by: • focusing on the economic analysis of Central and Eastern European countries, • successfully introducing the euro cash, • setting a new focus on the analysis of Southeastern European countries, • providing technical assistance in euro changeover matters especially to neighboring countries (for example: twinning projects with Hungary and Slovakia) and • providing technical assistance in all areas to Central, Eastern and Southeastern European countries as well as CIS countries.

    Institut für Regional- und Umweltwirtschaft Institute of Regional Development and Environment Andreas Novy, Lukas Lengauer, Daniela Coimbra de Souza Vienna in an emerging trans-border region: Socioeconomic development in Central Europe SRE-Discussion 2008/08 2008 Vienna in an emerging trans-border region: Socioeconomic development in Central Europe NOVY, Andreas1 LENGAUER, Lukas1 COIMBRA DE SOUZA, Daniela1 Abstract: Drawing upon a periodisation of socio-economic development based on the regulation approach, the paper conducts a historical spatial development analysis of Vienna in its broader territory and multi-level perspective. The National context and the East-West cleavages mark the geography of the study. This periodisation is the basis to understand the strategies of Vienna in changing territorialities, the social forces and discourses that are reflected in the present context of Europeanisation, internationalisation and integration of border regions. A critical institutionalist approach is used to analyse the hegemonic liberal and populist discourses and strategies. The lessons taken in this section build the path to outline windows of opportunity for progressive politics, which are sketch out in the last section of the article. The ideas exposed in the paper are partial results of broader research carried out in the frame of DEMOLOGOS, an EU financed project.

Furthermore – also consistent with previous results – CENTROPE also in com- parison to other polycentric cross-border regions is a region which is highly attractive to FDI and whose comparative advan- tage primarily seems to be rooted in medium skills while the share of high skilled in the population is low in CENTROPE also relative to other polycentric cross-border regions. Although regional disparities in terms of per-capita GDP are high in CENTROPE, CENTROPE is not the polycentric cross-border region with the largest internal disparities, and relative to this com- parison group (and in contrast to a comparison with the EU average) the share of R&D expenditure in GDP has increased more than average in the last decade.
