ReGrow publications on structure/agency relationship

The ReGrow project

In the Regional Growth Against All Odds project, we covered Finland, Norway and Sweden with an aim to identify to what extent, and how, various actors and actor groups have shaped regional growth trajectories. The initial phase included all the sub-regions / labour market regions from the three countries and the last phase zoomed in twelve comparative in-depth case studies, focusing on the role of agency in regional development.  We were  interested in the structure/agency relationship. At this point, only the Team Tampere’s publications are listed, more to appear from Lund and Stavanger.
