| Summary: | Since the 1990s the metropolitan region and its governance has got into the focus of regional science
again. Nowadays a newer wave of metropolitan governance is authoritative, which has exceeded the
former administrative-territorial planning aspects, and has appeared on the scene as the mechanism of
economic development policy. Examining the development stages of regional policy it is well-known that
the classical (modern) approach was superseded by the postmodern one. While the national methods
applied in the classical period were characterized by strictness, central regulation, indirect regulation of
the market (Fordist approach), in the postmodern period flexibility, decentralization and direct regulation
have come to the fore (Post-Fordism). In the postmodern period the state level also takes its role in the
financing of innovation and research&development, and the notions of networking and competitiveness
are coming more and more to the fore.
In this article I analyze these processes through the case study of Győr. After the theoretical introduction I
examine the tools of economic development and economic governance in the Győr metropolitan region.
Activities observed in Győr can strengthen the view-point that the processes of economic development
and economic governance have nowadays been going on in parallel with each other. Moreover, the coordinating
activities of local authorities can be observed in the work of organizations that support
economic governance. In the course of the research it was also confirmed that built infrastructure can
serve as a fundamental condition for the cooperation of network-systems that operate the governance
system of a municipality. |
