Building Innovation Excellence of World Class: The Cluster as an Instrument of Spatial Governance in the European Union

European spatial governance is becoming an intriguing mix of ideas from the economic, political and cultural spheres. This article asserts that, in the EU's spatial planning, the cluster is increasingly part of a hybrid spatial politics, here named the ‘cluster gaze’, based on the interplay of innovation‐oriented political rationality and spatial governance. To study this process, the article provides an empirical investigation into selected EU documentation. The investigation is based on two perspectives. First, the cluster is analysed as a mediating instrument to stimulate and rescale transnational market developments in the EU. Second, the cluster is studied as an instrument of spatial management — one that builds on a business managerial ethos and endorses a specific hierarchical spatial imaginary and a cluster evidence base to assess the productivity and efficiency of European clusters. Both of these perspectives pave the way for a European ‘politics of cluster excellence’ that is about the constant sharpening of cluster practices, continuous evaluation and ranking, and the enhancement of cluster performance to rise from the ‘European league’ towards the ‘world class’.     

城市空间重构:从"乌托邦"到"辩证乌托邦"——大卫·哈维《希望的空间》的中国化解读

通过对大卫·哈维《希望的空间》所包含的全球化背景下的地理空间不平衡思想的解读,认为中国城市空间存在着"辩证乌托邦"的机遇.中国城市在空间建构过程中,应该避免单一价值取向的"乌托邦",而应在多元要素组成的"生命之网"的基础上建构空间的"辩证乌托邦".进而探讨了这种"替代方案"的实现所需要政府角色和公共政策的转变,以及空间协调机制的整合,这是该书带给中国城市空间演进的最大意义.
