Smart specialisations for voivodeships – the first steps toward improvement?

Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 1

Abstract

The article presents the process and effects of the emergence of smart specialisations in the Silesian and Warmian-Masurian Voivodeships. The starting point is the analysis of smart specialisations in the context of the development theories, which is followed by a discussion of the specialisations of the two voivodeships. This leads to the establishment of several doubts concerning the future situation of the peripheral region presented in the article.
