Patterns of Local Autonomy in Europe
Do networks matter? Network involvement and policy learning in Nordic regions
The capacities of regions to form networks are an important feature of regional cooperation. This article assesses why Nordic regions engage in network activities and what new organizational patterns of collaboration emerge. It draws on historical data from a 2006–2008 survey of elected regional politicians from the Nordic countries. The article argues that through this process, participation in cross-border networks matters for regional learning…
Measuring Local Autonomy in 39 Countries (1990–2014)
Local autonomy is a highly valued feature of good governance. The continuous efforts of many European countries to strengthen the autonomy of local government show the importance given to decentralization and the transfer of far-reaching competences to the lowest units. Measuring and comparing local autonomy, however, has proven to be challenging. Not only are there diverging ideas about the core elements of local autonomy, there are also conside…
Den gode heimstaden – kva kjenneteikn har den? Stadskvalitetar i den norske heimstadsmentaliteten
Kvifor likar eller mislikar folk den staden der dei bur – heimstaden? Er den norske heimstadsmentaliteten i endring i retning av ei større verdsetting av urbane stadskvalitetar? Ei slik endring ville vere i takt med internasjonale trendar og kan seiast å avspegle framveksten av ein global kunnskapsøkonomi driven fram av «den kreative klassen». Denne artikkelen undersøkjer kor (ny-)urbane norske bustadspreferanser er blitt og drøftar kva konsekven…

Innovation in E-government
The article seeks to test propositions about innovation in e-government inspired by innovation theory. The tests are carried out on data from a survey of municipal web pages in the four Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The research question is concerned with expl aining variations among Nordic municipalities as to the features of their respective web pages. A model of innovation is developed, aiming at capturing typical fe…
The Comparative Study of Local Government and Politics
Norwegian centre–periphery relations in flux
The periphery has traditionally had a strong position in the Norwegian polity. From the 1990s, the periphery and its institutional underpinnings, especially the county councils, have been put onto the defensive. Why is this happening? And how is the likely pattern of regional governance going to look? Our main argument is that the region-building forces are facing an uphill struggle against a fundamental transformation of the Norwegian periphery …

Electoral Participation in Bangladesh
Electoral participation in Bangladesh varies substantially from region to region. Why is this so? The regional variation offers an opportunity to test theories of democratic development and participation. Theories of modernisation suggest that socio-economic development is important for democratic practices whereas others have indicated the role of political factors such as political culture or modes of electoral mobilisation and campaigning.
