V originále
Hlavním cílem textu je odpovědět na otázku, zda konkurenceschopnost národních států je relevantním konceptem, který může přispět k analýze v rámci ekonomické vědy hlavního proudu. Dále posoudit, zda z analýzy světové ekonomiky na základě využití tohoto teoretického konceptu mohou smysluplně vyplývat doporučení pro formulaci politik. Zmiňujeme i možný alternativní přístup ke konceptu konkurenceschopnosti národní ekonomiky.
In English
This article is a contribution to the discussion of national competitiveness as a concept for analysis of international economic relations. The main goal is the critical refl ection of the concept. We consider the Paul Krugman’s and Richard Baldwin’s remarks regarding the problems associated with using competitiveness as an analytical concept still valid when restrained to the domain of neoclassical economics. Moreover – even though the competitiveness is widely accepted as an analytical concept - we believe a number of problems associated with its current use exist (both in theory and in process of policy formations). Mainly, there is confusion between the micro and macro-economic understanding of concept which stems from confusion between individual and national/territorial level of analysis. We also believe that even if new trade theory (increasing returns and strategic trade) is taken into account, it is quite problematic to formulate policy recommendation for structural and industrial policy on its grounds. When the assumptions of neoclassical economics are loosened, the concept of competitiveness might prove valid. Finally we stress than even if this is the case the sensitiveness of the most of recommendations for competitiveness promotion to retaliation and potential damage resulting to international economic regime from its enforcement is rather high.
