Námskeið: Svæðisumbreytingar og -þróun
Námskeiðslýsing á ensku:
Peasants in Cochabamba, urban farmers in Pajottenland, saffron cultivators in Taliouine or fishermen in Isafjordur. The differences among these regions is as diverse as their names suggest. Still, in their endeavour to improve their livelihoods, all people and communities face similar challenges. This course will look at regional development and related topics, from a conceptual as well as practical perspective. Conceptually, we’ll talk about different approaches to regional development and how these are discursively reflected in policies at local and regional level. We’ll discuss concepts such as territorialisation, (neo-)endogenous development, inclusive innovation and inclusive knowledge systems.
Regional development essentially involves the participation of different stakeholders. We’ll explore different tools to engage stakeholders, and focus on analytical frameworks to analyse possible pathways for regional development.
Inspired by visits to a locally embedded but globally active company and local fishermen, we’ll co-design a possible future pathway for Ísafjörður and the Westfjords.
