Regional governance in second-tier city-regions in Sweden: a multi-scalar approach to institutional change
研究了瑞典三个二线城市区域治理的形成与制度变迁，解释了制度变迁的空间关系，并探讨了路径依赖和反馈机制在不同城市区域中的差异表现。
This study focuses on the formation and institutional changes of governance for regional development in three second-tier city-regions in Sweden. It explains the spatial relations of such institutional change. It integrates concepts from historical institutionalism in a spatial approach and investigates the path dependency of institutional change. This involves conceiving the mechanism of feedback effects and institutional changes of layering, conversion and recombination, and of how these play out differently within the three city-regions. The conclusions highlight the relations at different scales of different institutional changes.
