Накратко на български
Локалното производство в общностите на ЕС се изследва чрез примери за алтернативни мрежи за производство. Това помага да се разберат начините за намаляване на зависимостта от далечни доставки и изтощаването на ресурсите.

Participatory Pathways for Reshoring European Manufacturing
While ecological crises have long underlined the need to move beyond economic ‘business-as-usual’, the Covid-19 crisis intensified such concerns. In particular, the pursuit of just-in-time (JIT) production, fossil fuel-based mobility, and extensive offshoring – all underpinning a growth-based economy – resulted in vulnerabilities which became very evident when the global economy came to a halt. The world faced its second major economic crisis in little over a decade, and policy-relevant research which illustrates pathways towards a more humane economy with lower resource throughput is crucial. RESHORE is a theoretically and methodologically innovative research project that examines the role played by grassroots actors in a key economic sector: manufacturing. The project aims to investigate the potential for localised and community-based manufacturing across EU Member States and, through empirical case studies of such initiatives, identify the geographical influences on equitable reshoring transitions. Inspired by work on community economies and degrowth, it explores novel concepts and uses of ‘strategic autonomy’, ‘localisation’ and ‘Alternative Production Networks (APNs)’ in Europe.

Цел на проекта
RESHORE is an action research project which will investigate the potential and limits for manufacturing in Europe as part of a social economy fit for the future. In spite of decades of offshoring and a global race-to-the-bottom, manufacturing remains a significant part of the European economy, employing around 30 million people. Given increasing evidence of the vulnerabilities and unsustainabilities resulting from over-reliance on global supply chains, especially in a post-Covid context, RESHORE will enhance our understanding of how emerging and established European manufacturers operate and thrive, influencing discourse on sustainable economic transformation in the EU. Theoretically and methodologically grounded in economic geography, the project will take a comparative approach to learn from existing initiatives in reshoring manufacturing in Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic. The objectives of RESHORE are: 1. To advance a ‘diverse economies’ analytical framework for understanding the equitable relocalisation of European manufacturing; 2. To outline participatory pathways for local manufacturing in three EU Member States, drawing from interactive visioning workshops; 3. To identify the geographical influences for equitable reshoring transitions through empirical case studies. To achieve these objectives, and influence public debate on issues relating to reshoring, the project will combine conventional qualitative methods (ethnography, semi-structured interviews) with transdisciplinary, action-research approaches. A structured and comprehensive plan for training in transdisciplinary methods will enable the fellow to reach professional maturity and secure a group leader or permanent faculty position at a world-leading European research institution. This project will be hosted at LMU, Munich, and includes a secondment at the European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprise (EURICSE), Italy.
