Innovation and Regional Development
No detailed description available for "Innovation and Regional Development".
Institutions, Discourse, and Regional Development
Why are some regional development strategies adopted and others rejected? Only limited systematic attention has been paid to the politics of regional policy, including the role of institutions, discourse, and political debate in shaping this major area of public policy. The book develops an institutionalist approach to the study of regional policy, capable of spanning major European development paradigms and accounting for the dynamic relationship between organisations, policies and political discourse. This conceptual framework is then applied to the Scottish Development Agency, a development body famed across Europe for its innovative policies but surrounded by political controversy in Scotland. A detailed study of corporate strategies, policy implementation, and the wider British environment questions existing interpretations of the organisation which tend to vilify anti-interventionist Thatcherites or glorify shrewd development professionals. Instead the author proposes an alternative synthesis which highlights the interplay between institutions, discourse and regional development in the politics of regional policy.

Systemtheorie und Systemtechnik in der Raumplanung
Dieser Aufsatz ist ein Holzschnitt. Nicht Differenzierungen und Abschattierungen sol len das Bild der Systemwissenschaft -so wie es dem damaligen Architekten und Städte bauer und dem heutigen Raumplaner erscheint- bestimmen, sondern lange und tiefe und manchmal etwas gewaltsam geradegeschnittene Linien. Ich meine, daß ein solch Verein fachender-Rückblick notwendig ist, weil die ehemals heftig· geführte Diskussion/lI um die Systemwissenschaft liegengeblieben ist -obwohl in der Raumplanung weiterhin Systemwissenschaft betrieben wurde und wird. Allerdings soll mein Holzschnitt nicht die Diskussion inhaltlich neueinleiten -dazu sind die Aufsätze unseres gesamten Auf satzbandes und vor alle...

The primary wedge issues are tuition cost, access, accountability, financial aid, government funding, sports and their place within higher education, academic results, societal gains as a whole in terms of international competition, and continuing education.
