Lessons for a Policy Maker From Real-Life Self-Discovery in Economies With Weak Institutions
P. 225–248.
Gonchar K. R., Kuznetsov Y., Wade I.
Chapter 10 presents several examples of real-life smart spacialization processes in middle-income economies (such as Russia, Israel, Argentina) with a significant knowledge base but weak institutions. These cases are framed within a three-stage model, which explains growt and structural changes from a first-mover problem tot he issue of collective action or regional custer coordination problem to the critical mass problem, or how to acquire or build a bundle of highly specialized and interrelated institutions. The examples show that regional development is usually a by-product of the national or global success of the private first-movers, but the key challenge is around their clustering. The models and the examples show that the policy agenda for advanced and less-developed regions must be designed and implemented differently.

This study investigates how long-haul truck drivers, who work predominantly in solitude between warehouses and communicate mainly with dispatchers and warehouse staff, cultivate a sense of occupational solidarity despite the absence of a traditional work collective. Identifying as long-haul truckers rather than logistic workers, they engage in collective actions like unionizing and striking. This research ...

People sometimes protest government corruption, yet our current understanding of why they do so is culturally constrained. Can we separate pancultural factors influencing people’s willingness to protest government corruption from factors culturally specific to each socioecological context? Surprisingly little cross-cultural data exist on this important question. To fill this gap, we performed a cross-cultural test ...

Prosocial behavior research is usually based on emotional and cognitive approaches that shed light on factors that facilitate the readiness to help. Encountering groups that need help, e.g., socially disadvantaged, might cause dissonance among people who perceive themselves as part of the social system that induced such problems. To deal with this conflict, people might ...

The influencing power of hashtags cannot be overestimated since they can be used as facilitators of some societal change calling for collective action. Following the influential social identity model of collective action (SIMCA) presented by Van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears (2008), social identity together with collective efficacy beliefs and perceived injustice lead to collective action. ...

Contemporary Russia has a low level of trust. Collective leisure can shape trusting behavior. There is a variety of leisure activities, including nightlife — places that work after midnight. Although such places are often associated with deviant behavior, in many European cities nighttime leisure begins to institutionalize. At the same time, nightclubs in the capital ...

In this paper, we propose an agent-based model of protest participation. We take into account latent factors, such as individual anger with the system and group belief in the protest's success, as well as the risk of repression. We run a number of experimental simulations and look at distributions of protester numbers under various initial ...

Current predictive models of collective action have devoted little attention to personal values, such as morals or ideology. The present research addresses this issue by incorporating a new axiological path in a novel predictive model of collective action, named AICAM. The axiological path is formed by two constructs: ideology and moral obligation. The model has ...

By bringing together rich models of social behavior from social psychology with decision modeling techniques from economics, these mechanisms can ultimately foster cooperation in human societies. While variation in ...
