Description
Summary:The concern about entrepreneurship and its relationship as a way of over-coming the current economic crisis is present in most of the political leaders’ speeches from Europe. Indeed, there is a broad consensus that quality entrepreneurial initiative, development and consolidation, are closely related with economic growth and job creation. However, these approaches fail to accura-tely take into account the regional differences in Europe.This research takes a look at the entrepreneurial phenomenon from the territorial perspective and provides some evidences on European convergence to be raised.The information covered in the two European geographical areas: The Nordic countries (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark) and the Me-diterranean countries (Portugal Spain, Greece and Italy), has been generated from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). La preocupación por el emprendimiento y su relación con la salida de la crisis económica está presente en la mayoría de los discursos de los responsables políticos de Europa y hay un amplio consenso en que las iniciativas emprendedoras de calidad, su desarrollo y consolidación, están estrechamente relacionadas con la salida de la crisis, el crecimiento económico y la creación de empleo. Sin embargo, estos planteamientos no tienen suficientemente en consideración las diferencias territoriales en Europa. En esta investigación se ofrece una serie de evidencias del fenómeno emprendedor desde la perspectiva territorial norte-sur de Europa y se plantea que la convergencia europea no se está produciendo en esta materia. La información de las dos zonas geográficas europeas contempladas, los países Nórdicos (Dinamarca, Finlandia, Islandia, Noruega y Suecia) y los países Medi-terráneos (España, Grecia, Italia y Portugal) ha sido extraída del observatorio Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM).
