dc.description.abstract | This article discusses the development of regional policies in two
countries, Latvia and Norway. The aim is to present how these policies have evolved
and can be understood with the application of complexity theory as a common
theoretical framework for analysis. Even though Latvia and Norway have quite
different experiences in regional development policy, both have tried to react to modern
challenges of globalization and demographic changes by using general theories and
concepts of economic and social development. Differences and similarities between
the two countries are high-lighted by a review of studies from Latvia and Norway
that describes the variety of policies that can be applied for regional development.
Regional policy in both countries has coalesced around support for local initiative and
entrepreneurship. | language |
