Place based policy as a new approach to cluster processes

Summary/Abstract: Initiation of cluster structures has been the leading idea of regional activation in the European Union for the past years, as it leads to the process, product and organizational innovation. The concept of the so-called place-based policy can be considered as the most preferred model of this policy in the European Union. According to this concept, clusters are becoming a tool of support and activation of regional development and release their natural entrepreneurship. There is, however, a number of barriers related to this policy that question its further application. In this context, attention should be directed to the new concept of regional policy that is the place-based policy. The aim of the paper is to compare both of these concepts. The author takes into account their mechanisms, presents the nature of barriers existing in the policy pursued so far and provides arguments for its remodeling.
