Regional higher education institutions in regional leadership and development. Regional Studies. This paper analyses the evolution, the embeddedness in regional structures and the contribution to leadership of Estonian regional higher education institutions. The conceptual framework combines institutional and complexity leadership theories to create a typology of regional higher education institutions. The empirical material is based on interviews and survey data.
