  • Conference paper
Innovation Networks

Part of the book series: Technology, Innovation and Policy ((3217,volume 12))

Abstract

Integration of the central and eastern European countries (CEECs) through the Single Market and conformance to acquis communitaire dominate the policy agenda of the EU enlargement. Integration through different forms of inter-firm co-operation has been considered to be unproblematic and the automatic outcome of institutional and policy integration. It is assumed that the deeper institutional integration the more likely that it will lead to more extensive industrial co-operation.

This chapter is prepared within the project "The emerging industrial architecture of the wider Europe: the co-evalution of political and economic", funded by the UK ESRC programme "One Europe or Several?"
