regional development
Definition
- The notion of ‘region’ may span from a 10,000 squaremile territory in the Arctic with a handful of inhabitants to ‘the region of Asia’. For the notion of ‘region’ to acquire meaning, it is necessary to link it to specific discourses. For action research, there are, in particular, two perspectives that have been important: one emanating from internal differences within nation states and one from the need to introduce several levels of organization to build the bridge between local developments and broader waves of change.
