Title: The 'place' of multi-level governance? Defining the policy agenda for regional development in Western Flanders
Abstract: The policy-making function of the principal agency for regional
development is examined. Are institutional and governance forms for
Regional Development as much a product of specific local and regional
conditions (the 'place' of multi-level governance) as they are a part of the
mechanisms that facilitate their reproduction- such as the state,
economy, society and the widely interpreted term ‘globalization’?
Following on from this, are multi-level policy priorities for regional
development influenced more by the ‘business-led agenda’ and its
‘positional elites’ than the regional- local institutional capacities and by
the local actors ‘outside of the game’?
