Abstract

In Israel, regional clusters serve as a mechanism for regional development, achieved through the integration of interests, pooling of resources, knowledge transfer, and the facilitation of agglomerations. This study gains insights from two EU regional development programs, LEADER and URBACT, to potentially benefit the regional clusters in Galilee, Israel's northern periphery. The research examined five municipal clusters in Galilee, aiming to identify their distinct characteristics and place them within a wider theoretical and comparative framework. A qualitative research approach was adopted, involving semi-structured interviews with the clusters' CEOs and an analysis of pertinent policy documents. The findings suggest that Galilee's municipal clusters encounter challenges similar to those faced by the EU's LEADER and URBACT programs. These include establishing regional networks, achieving recognition for their capabilities, and cultivating trust and cooperation gradually. The CEOs shared their experiences in navigating the challenges posed by wary mayors and government ministries. The recognized success of these clusters, as evidenced in policy documents, could signify a shift from Israel's traditional centralist political culture to a more decentralized power structure.

以色列加利利周边地区的区域发展政策
在以色列,区域集群是一种区域发展机制,通过整合利益、汇集资源、知识转让和促进集聚来实现。本研究从欧盟的两个区域发展计划--LEADER 和 URBACT 中获得启示,从而为以色列北部边缘地区加利利的区域集群带来潜在益处。研究考察了加利利的五个城市群,旨在确定它们的显著特征,并将其置于更广泛的理论和比较框架中。研究采用了定性研究方法,包括对集群首席执行官进行半结构化访谈,以及对相关政策文件进行分析。研究结果表明,加利利城市群遇到的挑战与欧盟的 LEADER 和 URBACT 计划类似。这些挑战包括建立地区网络、使其能力得到认可以及逐步培养信任与合作。首席执行官们分享了他们在应对警惕性较高的市长和政府部门提出的挑战方面的经验。从政策文件中可以看出,这些集群取得了公认的成功,这标志着以色列从传统的中央集权政治文化向更加分权的权力结构转变。
