    Abstract: The role of network access on regional specialization in manufacturing across Europe, Regional Studies. This paper focuses on the debate over the importance of infrastructure in the course of European integration. It aims to analyse whether the accessibility created by the improvement in the access to the transport network has any effect on European regional specialization levels within manufacturing. The results point to the conclusion that the higher the accessibility cost in a region, the higher its specialization level. In essence, those regional economies that are far (because of either an excessive time–cost access or a lower potential accessibility) need to be more specialized in one or a few manufacturing sectors than those other regional economies with lower accessibility costs.
