This article explores the utility of applying the European policy of smart specialisation to tackle spatial divergence in the Australian context. Using a geographical political economy approach and considering a growing literature on innovation in peripheral places, the work explores how smart specialisation is applied in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, a coal-dependent non-metropolitan industrial enclave in the Gippsland region. Analysis of the case suggests that market-based growth processes envisaged by the architects of innovation-based regional policies such as smart specialisation have been unable to spur development in Australia’s disadvantaged non-metropolitan regions. On the contrary, without more careful appreciation of local contexts, such policies will lead to further spatial divergence and exacerbate divisions between urban and regional communities.

不那么“聪明”？澳大利亚的智能专业化实验

本文探讨了应用欧洲智能专业化政策来解决澳大利亚背景下的空间分歧的效用。使用地理政治经济学方法并考虑到越来越多的关于外围地区创新的文献，该工作探讨了如何在维多利亚州的拉特罗布谷应用智能专业化，这是吉普斯兰地区一个依赖煤炭的非大都市工业飞地。对该案例的分析表明，以创新为基础的区域政策（如智能专业化）的建筑师所设想的以市场为基础的增长过程无法刺激澳大利亚处于不利地位的非大都市地区的发展。相反，如果没有更仔细地了解当地情况，
