Emergence of regional leadership -a field approach. Regional Studies. The complex processes associated with the emergence of regional leadership are interpreted in this paper through a field theoretical framework, and are discussed with example cases relating to green economy developments in four Nordic regions. It is argued that macro-and mesolevel processes create opportunities and constraints for local agency, and how local agency can respond to this is discussed. Field theory offers a novel perspective on regional leadership because it helps one gain a deeper understanding of the various forms regional leadership can take.

Regional Studies. Ce présent article cherche à interpréter les processus complexes associés à la naissance du leadership régional dans le cadre de la théorie du champ, et on en discute à partir des études de cas qui se rapportent au développement de l'économie verte dans quatre régions nordiques. On affirme que les processus macro et méso créent les conditions et les contraintes propres à l'entremise locale, et on discute comment l'entremise locale pourrait y répondre. La théorie du champ fournit une perspective originale du leadership régional parce qu'elle aide à mieux comprendre les diverses formes que pourrait prendre le leadership régional.

In diesem Beitrag werden die komplexen Prozesse beim Entstehen von regionaler Führung in einem feldtheoretischen Rahmen interpretiert und anhand von Fallbeispielen im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung der grünen Wirtschaft in vier nordischen Regionen erörtert. Es wird argumentiert, dass die Prozesse auf Makro-und Meso-Ebene Chancen und Einschränkungen für die lokale Wirkmächtigkeit erzeugen, und es wird erörtert, wie die lokale Wirkmächtigkeit hierauf eingehen kann. Die Feldtheorie bietet eine neuartige Perspektive der regionalen Führung, da sie dazu beiträgt, das Verständnis für die verschiedenen möglichen Formen der regionalen Führung zu verbessern.

Purpose The learning region has over the years become popular as a concept to portray and analyse subnational geographic entities heading for future growth and well-being. Claiming analytic and political relevance, the concept nevertheless retains much unclarified ideological content. Design/methodology/approach This study traces its roots to varieties of heterodox economic thinking where it has gained a prominent place. Findings While being strong on the value of different kinds of knowledge to economic development, the concept has a much weaker grip on the cultural rationales for knowledge and learning. Originality/value Thus, the study concludes with a need for a cultural reorientation to take place if the concept is going to retain its significance in the future academically as politically.
In this chapter, the institutional development of higher education and research in Norway is analysed as a process that has been intimately intertwined with the strong geographical dimension of the country’s nation-building process. This aspect of the sector’s development has been important under different phases of its political history. To be legitimate, national political decisions have always had to consider and mediate between conflicting regional interests. Following Mark Bevir’s (2011) distinction between different stages of nation building, I especially point at how decision makers under the present phase of a neoliberal and networking state seem to act as if the geographical rationales underpinning the national project can be ignored. The sector in question offers an illustrative case, as higher educational institutions bear a stronger affinity to their regional embeddedness than often acknowledged.
