Europeanisation and regionalization, European convergence versus local divergence are important and timely questions as regards the future of EU cohesion policy, that originally aimed to reduce economic, social and territorial inequalities. Recently, it does not solely support regional development and stimulate modernization processes, but also aims to advance competitiveness, job creation, innovation, and sustainable growth and development (Europe 2020 strategy), especially at the sub-national level. The comparison of regional processes, institutional systems, experience and the originating potential future scenarios of transition economies are interesting...

The French national territory is characterised by a rich variety of landscapes and regions upon which the post-revolutionary Jacobin Republic imposed its homogenising territorial administration with the objective of achieving uniformity and a greater transparency. Territorial unity formed the basic pillar of the Republic, which no successive regimes were able to undermine and no peripheral bottom-up regionalisation movements could challenge until the end of the past decade. However, from the second half of the 20th century, the unified national territory was increasingly subject to a "two-speed" development, with declining socio-economic conditions...

The focus of the paper is on how Central-European cities can join the global urban network by taking part in offering high level business services for multinational companies. Companies offering these high level business services are multinational companies themselves, which locate their offices in the production and service-providing centers. New centralities and marginalities occur, and a key question how the fragmented Central European urban structure mainly characterised by small cities is affected by these changes, which cities became global cities, and which cities can be integrated in the urban network on a regional level. The hypothesis is...

Metropolitan areas play a dominant role in today's economic, social and environmental processes; therefore the scientific interest has also increased related to the global and world cities. They can be considered as key players of the world economy and a very complex competition takes place among them, which crosses the national state borders. Every city tries to reach the most favorable position and this rivalry has helped the birth of several city rankings. This paper has two important aims. Firstly, it explains the term of the world and global city based on the international literature and it is also looking for the answer, whether the Austrian...

The European Union set three goals (for energy efficiency, share of renewable energy sources, and greenhouse gas emissions) in the Energy 2020 document emphasising the importance of joint actions. This study investigates the 28 members' progression in the light of these commitments, between 2001 and 2012. Applying the methodology of sigma and beta convergence, we prove the convergence progress across the member states, but the result of gamma convergence modifies it: we conclude that differences remained in the European Union between 2001 and 2012 but the extent of the differences decreased significantly. The renewables ratio shows the fastest convergence...

Demographic shrinkage has created 'new' challenges in the spatial and urban development of the developed world and its semi periphery for nearly three and a half decades and it requires a different way of thinking and different solutions as well compared to previous development practices. Theoretical research and development activities in practice are further aggravated by the mono-minded mentality of society, economy and politics fallen a victim to charms of 'growth'; the slow recognition of the fact of spatial-urban shrinkage and the reluctance to deal with the problem (especially on the semi periphery). In this paper I would like to outline the...

The last decade brought a structural transformation in the Hungarian higher educational system. The main drivers of the change are the followings: the credit system was introduced; the traditional educational structure was replaced by the new, Bologna one with BA and MA programmes. Besides the number of students in the secondary schools stagnated, reduced, which could be just partly counterbalanced by the foreign students and elder population. Finally tuition fee has to be highlighted, which became mass in the cases of economic programmes. In the paper the national and international positions of University of Miskolc, Faculty of Economics are investigated...

I think that the equal opportunity and the underprivileged marginal labour-market layers' significance play an important role in the economics of our days, so the women's labour-market participation. Analysing the Hungarian data lines, we can see that the women's labour-market participation significantly lags behind the men's. I wish to prove with a questionnaire survey that in the North-Hungarian region the women's labour-market situation and the career opportunities of the researcher women lags behind the men's slightly. Based on my research, beyond the women's traditional home tasks have appeared the claims for work derives from the employment,...

The participation of Hungary and Hungarian regions outside of Hungary in transnational and interregional programmes within the framework of the third objective (European Territorial Cooperation) of the European Union's Cohesion Policy 2007-2013 is an indicator suitable for analysing the international networking activity of Central European national minorities. These programme areas are very well in alignment with the settlement areas of Hungarians and thus it provides a great opportunity for cooperation in the field of regional developments. The study on the participation of Hungarian organizations in and outside of Hungary in the programming period...

In our study we shall analyse the spatial aspects of the Romani-Hungarian coexistence based on the field research results of the village seminar workshop organized by the Szent István University (Gödöllő). We present two different situations: one segregate analysis using Baks as an example, where we find a settlement considered as majority, and a Romani segregate; and provincial ghettoization using Átány as an example, where due to a previous site termination the Romani people dispersed over the whole village area. We conducted surveys in both settlements in order to find out the local residents' opinion on the development of the value of the inhabited...

Over the past few years the number of farmers' markets in Hungary has considerably grown what was induced both by the growing demand and the occurrence of facilitated authorization requirements. At the same time according both to international and Hungarian experience the dynamic increase in the number of farmers' markets has occurred together with a notably high closure rate.Markets having characteristically small number of vendors, narrow variety of products, unsatisfactory organizing capacity and experience, as well as markets operating at an inadequate site were generally closed during the first four years.The present study aims to describe...

In the beginning of the 20th century the food consumption levels were much lower than later in the century, when food production increased as well. The selection of foodstuffs became wider and we can observe the modernisation of nutrition principles too, which both had a positive impact on consumption. The variety of food was also affected by the increasing life expectancy. The emergence of more modern ways in food consumption is halted not only by the traditions but by the fact that healthier foods are more expensive than fat or cereal prices. There is a significant correlation between the income levels and the quality of consumed food, as it can...

Industries have to face continuously emerging new trends and challenges worldwide. The former pattern of local bundling techniques cannot seem to be adapted at global measures. The processes of globalisation urgently call for the harmonisation of legislative policies and practices. A good example for this is the current situation of health tourism. In the most rapidly changing industry, development has overcome legislation by far, and unfortunately left policy makers and local stakeholders unable to respond to the new challenges. However, the continuous growing on the demand side forecasts further massive development of the field in the coming decades....

Scientific collaboration is a widely studied science field in the recent decades. For measuring, it a tighter approach co-authorship is frequently used. Co-authorship base level is the level of articles and the co-authorship networks are based on articles and authors. In this study a rather different level was examined: the level of journals. We used the approach of collaboration analysis regarding the relation between countries and journals. Two main groups of methods were used: statistical analysis and networks analysis. The goal was to explore patterns between journals and countries. We investigated the relations between journal ranking and affiliated...
