Goods must be returned without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after notifying us of your cancellation.
If you are returning products to several retailers, you should distribute the products accordingly and send the products to those retailers who shipped them to you initially.

You will also be reimbursed for reasonable returns postage costs for damaged or faulty goods once we have received your postage receipt.

Refusing delivery
If you refuse to accept delivery of all or part of your order (where the products or packaging do not appear to be damaged or defective) you will be responsible for the postage charges.

7 Acknowledgements If I have managed to inspire or provoke just some of the readers of this thesis into giving regional development a second thought and maybe in a slightly different way than before then I would find satisfaction in knowing that it has been worth the effort This thesis work has been co-financed through several sources, and I would like to start by giving thanks to the Norwegian Research Council, the national Value Creation 2010 programme, and the two driving forces Pål Lynne Hansen and Bjørn Gustavsen who through the Value Creation 2010 project have financed a significant part of this thesis work. I would also like to give thanks to the Competence Development Found of Southern Norway (CDFSN) that has been the second most significant financial contributor to the realisation of this thesis work. CDFSN is also one of the institutions that receives critique in this thesis. Those finding this odd should bear in mind that it is only through constructive criticism individuals, institutions, and regions can learn and continue to develop, thus criticisms forwarded in this thesis are not put forth in ill will, but as part of a basis for continued growth, learning, and democratic development. I will also give thanks to the two institutions that have paid my salaries while I have been busy writing. My main employer Agder Research and the director Torunn Lauvdal who was willing to use resources on financing this work, and Agder University College that through the Centre for Innovation and Working Life in Grimstad has contributed significantly both financially and professionally to the realisation of this thesis. I would also like to thank the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim that has hosted me as Ph.D. student through the Enterprise Development and Work Life Research (EDWOR) Ph.D. programme. I would also like to express gratitude for the support from the members of the Value Creation Alliance that is so central to this thesis work. During the years many - v -

Some of the most steadfast members of the Value Creation Alliance have also been interviewed as part of this thesis work. I would also like to express gratitude to all of the other regional stakeholders who were willing to take time off from a busy schedule to talk to me. I am also grateful for the collaboration I have had with my colleagues who were responsible for running the Value Creation 2010 project from Agder Research side: Elisabet Hauge, Geir Jørgensen, Gro Kvåle, Hans Chr.

That I also have benefited from having supportive co-workers and friends at Agder Research goes almost without saying, so a big thanks to all of you. I would also like to express gratitude towards the EDWOR staff: Associate professor Ann W. Martin, Professor Davydd J. Greenwood, Professor Hans Chr. Garmann Johnsen, Associate Professor Johan E. Ravn, Associate professor Lene Foss, Professor Morten Levin, Professor Oguz Baburoglu, Professor Richard Ennals, Professor Thoralf Qvale, and Professor Tor Claussen.

I am also very grateful to my fellow hard working EDWOR students, thanks for making EDWOR informative, interesting, and fun: Anli Ataov, Geir Arnhoff, Liv Berge, Steen Elsborg, Tunc T.

To all of you I can say that the discussions have been fruitful and the beers were enjoyed in good company! My two advisors Morten Levin and Hans Chr. Garmann Johnsen deserve more gratitude than I can put into writing. Their support has been invaluable in order for me to realize this work. They have provided just the right balance of critique and support and made it possible for me to move forward big thanks to both of you. My family, my wife Gro-Renée, and my two children Anita and Lars own and deserve more love, gratitude, and respect than I even can begin to give.

15 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Problem Statement In this study, I argue the restraints induced through neoliberal ideology and the potential of democracy in regional development. Neoliberal ideology holds a dominating role in premising the inputs and determining the outcomes of development processes, in the sense that it overpowers facts, unbiased information, and individual intent. Democracy is challenged when neoliberal ideology retains a hegemonic position, but democracy can also be efficient in challenging the hegemonies. The focal point of the study is to inquire into some of the processes associated with the transformation and changes towards a regional system of governance, and ask: Why is democracy disappearing from regional development? This means that this study is oriented towards how some recent regional change processes have affected democratic values on a system/regional level. Explicitly this thesis examines how meta steering of regional governance networks can influence and change both democratic and development practises in regions. 1.2 Relevance When I first started working on the Value Creation 2010 project one of the things in the project that appealed to me was the concept of broad participation, the principle of democratic involvement of all concerned in development (Gustavsen, Finne, & Oscarsson 2001; Levin 2002; Fricke & Totterdill 2004: 457). The Value Creation 2010 project also had other aims and characteristics, for instance the promise development, innovation, and economical growth in enterprises, and it had regional and network development ambitions. However, it was the idea of broad participation, and especially the ambition of testing to what extent industrial democracy could be brought into a regional context in a meaningful and effective way that directly appealed to me about the Value Creation 2010 project. Fricke and Totterdill thus write: The crucial point of this new action research approach [referring to Value Creation 2010] is to integrate the ideas and interests of as many regional stakeholders as possible, thereby - 1 -
16 Democracy in Development A Critical View on Regional Governance introducing an element of industrial democracy and participation into regional development (Fricke & Totterdill 2004: 5). < My background before starting to work on the Value Creation 2010 project was a study of the reorganisation of the Norwegian university college sector in 1994 (Normann 2002). This reorganisation process was a state steered and controlled process without much involvement or participation from those directly involved in and affected by the process. It lacked in a sense the idea and practice of democratic participation. The main research question of this thesis was developed as a result of my experiences from working with the Value Creation 2010 project in the Agder region. A project where we started out our work based on the idea of actively using democratic participation in regional development work, as a value in itself and as a tool for realising development aims. We experienced that it was difficult to realise our ideas about democracy in development, and we experienced that it was difficult to realise the development aims of the project. This thesis work should therefore be seen as an investigation into the relationship between democratic ideas and ideals and development work and aims. In this lies the conviction that regions that are able to systematically address both soft and hard values, which can realise their development aims based on and through democratic processes, will serve as tomorrow s success stories, and be the regions that others later will try to copy. The focus on different aspects of democracy has been a red thread in all of the activities that I have been involved in and observed through the course of the Value Creation 2010 project at Agder. The concept of broad participation articulated through research and development programmes such as Enterprise Development 2000 and Value Creation 2010 has therefore been the direct link into my thinking on the topic of this thesis which is: the discrepancies between practices and normative ideals of democracy in regional development and change processes. Thus, I have had to face the realities of the field and the apparent lack of attention to democratic issues in regional development discourses, i.e. how democratic processes and system features directly and indirectly are influenced, changed, manipulated, and dominated by new development rationales. Where focus is on the new regional development discourse, which is how regional development increasingly is interpreted through the lenses of the regional development concepts. This narrative tells us that a - 2 -
17 Chapter 1 Introduction basic change has occurred in society, that globalisation and technological change deeply have altered the dynamics of change and development, that fundamentally new development processes are required to achieve economical growth, innovation, and the articulation of the idea that regions, places where people live and work, somehow are in competition with one another. The perspective in this thesis is that this new regional narrative, foremost is meaningful to understand as the articulation of the increased influence of neoliberal ideology in society and thus a constructed reality, and that this is something we, citizens of regions, should question and be critical of. I held the position that this is equally important of your interests being regional development per se, the practice of democracy, or as I am here in both. I have also had to face the lack of attention to system s efficiency rationales, development rationales, and new organising principle in large portions of the public discourse on local democracy in Norway (Innst.S.nr ; St.meld.nr ; Østerud, Selle, & Engelstad 2003; St.meld.nr ; NOU 2005:6; 2006:7). The discourses on local democracy in Norway are regrettably still too much focused on classical topics, for instance the problem of decrease in turnout at the polls (NOU 2006:7), and the conflict between centre and periphery in Norwegian politics 1 (A.-L. Fimreite & Selle 2006). My point is not that these are not important topics, but that those concerned with democracy in a regional context now should start to lay more emphasis on other, and what I conceive as more pressing issues, something that also Fimreite and Selle point to: [ ] The discussion of a new administrative level has not come very far in Norway. We find an embrace of positive connotations to networks and innovation, the embrace of governance. But this discussion is held on a very general level and is not much contextualised, the understanding of democracy is vague, and possible consequences is far from thought-through (A.-L. Fimreite & Selle 2006: 22) 2. There are many exceptions to such a broad picture, but if I should put forward a general and schematic critique of much of the research on democracy in Norway I would say: a) that it is primarily oriented towards deficits in representative democracy 3, b) that it lacks interdisciplinary perspectives 4, and c) to a very little extent relates to contemporary economically oriented development trends and the implication these present for current practices of democracy
18 Democracy in Development A Critical View on Regional Governance Similar critiques can be forwarded against the regional development theories and concepts 6, which mainly are concerned with how to stimulate innovative processes, gain economical growth, and competitiveness, but seldom relate to how their strategic recommendations interferes with and influences democratic systems and practices in the contexts where they unfold 7. Johan P. Olsen has an interpretation of the situation that I believe is precisely on the mark, and that I am in full concord with: My [Olsen s] interpretation is that the increased emphasis on the commercialisation aspects on the innovation concept is an expression of a shift in the power relations between professions, organisations, institutions, social groups, more than an expression of an actual societal need for more innovation and more knowledge and analysis of variations in the ability innovate and readjust. A consequence of this is that the innovation debate is being decoupled from a normative analysis of the relative significance of commercial and economical aims in relation to other criteria, such as democracy, the distribution of power, legal protection, community, health, national security, and an ecological sustainable society. It is frequently referred to a strong economy as a prerequisite for welfare and other social goods. But often is it forgot that economical efficiency and growth can have problematic social and political consequences, and that a competitive economy is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the good society and good steering practices. This is true also in for the case of Norway (Olsen 2004) 8. For the discourse on participatory democracy in a regional sense, the idea of bringing industrial democracy out into the regions (Fricke & Totterdill 2004), the main problems are: That its main practical function seems to be of a rhetorical and legitimising kind (Bevir 2004), and not is sufficiently manifested in local thinking and practices, discussed in this thesis. I believe it is an understatement to say that the works of Einar Thorsrud, Fred Emery, and associates (Thorsrud, Emery, & Trist 1964; Thorsrud & Emery 1970; Emery & Thorsrud 1976) do not hold a particularly dominant position in current Norwegian discourse and practice on participatory/industrial democracy 9. This study aims at seeing these ideas about development and democracy as one discourse, integrated and complementary for understanding and changing current practices in regional governance systems. 1.3 Positions in the Literature The basic idea of this study is essentially to show how some of the new ways in which regions are being managed and steered, how governance networks themselves are - 4 -
19 Chapter 1 Introduction managed and steered and used as tools at specific ends, and how the practices of development and democracy co-exist and co-develop in such contexts. A debate on regional leadership is developing in the Agder region. This debate has partly emerged because of the introduction of a new formal regional level that will replace the county level, 1 January I use discourses regimes, governance, and democracy in order to give inputs to and widen current debates about regional leadership and changes in democratic practices. The paramount challenge facing almost every governance network aimed at development work is to identify the right balance between conflict and collaboration. Collaboration is good from a certain perspective, because it promote interests aggregations, something that is a premise for successful steering, while conflicts also can be constructive because they can stimulate new thoughts, creativity, development paths, and innovative processes. Successful regime or meta steering of governance networks therefore means finding the right balance between collaboration and conflict (Jessop 1998: 41; Sørensen & Torfing 2005: 51). It is also central to democracy, to mediate conflict, to sort between interests, and support the process of making informed decisions. The meta governance steering paradox is that if the development discourse is too hegemonic there is a risk of blocking new thoughts and lose development opportunities, and on the other hand, if is it too much conflict there is a risk of undermining network negotiations. This thesis discusses how what is being labelled second-generation governance research (Pierre 2000; Sørensen & Torfing 2005) can illuminate experiences with governance networks, and especially the meta governance steering paradox is addressed in the Agder region. My main argument is that successful and efficient social change an development can be achieved through democratic processes, but that this is not something that is automatically safeguarded by current societal change processes, and therefore should not be taken for granted by anyone. Governance and regime theory is therefore in this thesis used to give perspective to and analyzes of Value Creation 2010 in Agder and the politico economical system in the region. The findings from these analyses are in the end interpreted in light of three distinct theories of democracy
20 Democracy in Development A Critical View on Regional Governance 1.4 Method The research question is developed and approached through an in-depth Action Research study of the development of a regional development coalition called the Value Creation Alliance which was initiated in a collaborative effort between researchers and stakeholders in the Agder region. The Agder region, where the regional development coalition operated and practiced, is analyzed in a study of the politico economical system of some relevant aspects of the Agder region. Very simplified the main difference between an Action Research study and a more traditional case study, is of an epistemological nature. When a social scientist conducts a case study, s/he can be involved as an observer but is not necessarily a participant in the local knowledge generating process itself. In an Action Research study is this explicit, researcher participation and involvement is a deliberate and integrated part of the research and knowledge generating strategy Outline This thesis is structured in the following way. In the next chapter 2, I give a brief description of the context of the regional development and change processes discussed in this thesis. I here seek to emphasize those regional characteristics I believe are most relevant for understanding the concepts and perspectives discussed in this thesis. In chapter 3, I outline the theoretical analytical tools used to interpret the data available to this work. Here I focus primarily on the new regional narratives; the regional development concepts that are meant to construct regional advantages, and that have proved so influential on current thinking and practices in regional development. This discussion is followed by an theoretical outline of governance-network theories that during the late 80s and 90s have become the organising metaphor for the study of interactive forms of political decision making (Sørensen & Torfing 2005). This discussion leads us to the study of regional leadership, meta governance, and regime theory. Three alternative interpretations of governance systems and regime theory are then presented and discussed. These perspectives represent three different perspectives on society, the rationality of man, power, and democracy. This discussion is followed by an discussion of three different perspectives on democracy, that later are used to - 6 -
21 Chapter 1 Introduction analyse some governance practices in the Agder region in light of democratic theory. This represents the main components of the analytical framework of this thesis. In chapter 4, I account for the methods I have used and what type of data that have been available and give an account of my position on theory of science. In chapter 5, I present data from the case, the regional development coalition that I have been involved with for a period of five years the Value Creation Alliance. The case presentation is in the next chapter 6 followed by description of key elements in the development of and practices associated with the regional system of governance in Agder which the Value Creation 2010 case developed. In chapter 7, the data from chapter 5 and 6 is analysed through the analytical framework developed in chapter 3, and the three subordinate research questions of this thesis are discussed and analysed in this chapter. In chapter 8, I address the main research question and this discussion concludes the thesis

23 Chapter 2 The Agder Region There is little doubt that something is going on in Norwegian society and that this something has to do with a transition from the organisational patterns of the nation state and towards what can loosely be called regional or local patterns. Bjørn Gustavsen, Participation and Local Organisation (2004b: 37). 2.1 Region In the following, I will give a brief background to and situate the discussions in this thesis. I start with a brief outline of the new regional policies the new-regionalism paradigm and I continue with a brief introduction of the regional development concepts, which also are some of the background for governance networks now being an important feature of most regions in Norway. I then go on to give some context to the Agder region, its political administrative structures, its industrial structure, and some remarks on social and cultural issues. I also give a brief overview of what I in the following will conceptualize as the governance networks in the Agder region. Introducing Regional Development Concepts In the Agder region the use of regional development concepts has taken on a central role in order to structure and give direction to the regional governance system. In the political industrial development debate concepts of clusters and networks have become increasingly important in the task of addressing what is increasingly defined as regional development challenges. The concepts in use and the tools applied in addressing these challenges are both inspired by and more or less directly applied international and often managerial inspired development concepts. Concepts that in nature are not much different from those found in the world of business and organisational development 1. In the following, I briefly outline some of the most influential regional development concepts that are in use in the Agder region. A more thorough presentation is given in chapter
24 Democracy in Development A Critical View on Regional Governance One of the most prominent of the regional development concepts are firstly triplehelix (Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff 1997a), which describes the institutionalised collaboration between academia, industry, and public government. The idea of triplehelix is that collaboration or increased collaboration between the triple-helix actors stimulates innovation and economical growth. The concept of triple-helix has been very influential for both legitimising the existence of governance networks, and as a recipe for institutional design and focus of development processes in the Agder region from the turn of the millennium and onward. Regional stakeholder interviews in this thesis reveal triple-helix as the concepts most often referred to when network administrators and leaders are asked to explain why they work in and through network structures to realise regional policy agendas. A second influential regional development concept is that of learning regions (Florida 1995). The learning regions concept describes and argues in favour of the significance of vertical and horizontal connectors for knowledge transfer and information exchange. The learning region focuses on the importance of the knowledge worker, and is often contrasted with regions based on mass production (the old economy). The learning regions concept are locally often interpreted as an argument in favour of developing even more learning arenas, such as networks, different types of regional conferences, partnerships etc. The concept and ideas inherent in the learning regions concept were instrumental in the development of a regional strategy in the Value Creation 2010 project in the Agder region. A third influential regional/industrial development concept is Michael Porter s regional cluster theory (Porter 1998b). The regional cluster concept describes the importance of what in reality is a relatively unspecified assembly of enterprises which buys and sells exchange workforce, sets demands, and stimulates competition between each other. The concept states that these processes stimulate focus on increased quality and capacity. In Agder, as in many other regions, Porter s concepts of cluster are used in an instrumental way in order to stimulate economical growth. The extent of which it is possible to use temporary organisations to externally stimulate such processes is however lesser understood. A fourth influential regional development concept is the idea of the regional innovation system (RIS). A regional innovation system involves co-operation in

"Stroke follow strokes, the sparkling ingot shines,/ Flows the red slag, the lengthening bar refines;/ Cold waves, immersed, the glowing mass congeal,/ And turn to adamant the hissing Steel."
"She had always called me, after those strokes. Those strokes were all documented. Then she had a major stroke just a few days after she signed, and she has never been home since."
"Here am I: at one stroke incestuous, adulteress, sodomite, and all that in a girl who only lost her maidenhead today! What progress, my friends... with what rapidity I advance along the thorny road of vice!"

The Scientifiction Novels of C.S. Lewis(2004)
Space and Time in the Ransom Stories
A non fiction book by Jared Lobdell
Used by C.S. Lewis himself, the term "scientifiction" is revived here as it once encompassed not only what we call science fiction, but also that indeterminate field of the 1940s and 1950s sometimes referred to as science fantasy (leading up to Ray Bradbury), along with a portion of that great realm that has come, since the advent of The Lord of the Rings, to be called fantasy. Rather as an eighteenth-century novel may pre-date the divide between novel and romance, so C.S. Lewis's "interplanetary" novels may be considered to pre-date the modern divide between fantasy and science fiction and thus be thought of as "scientifictional" in nature. The stories dealt with are those in which Elwin Ransom is a character, the three usually called the "space trilogy": Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength - and the time-fragment entitled The Dark Tower. Lengthy chapters are devoted to each of the four Ransom stories. The book presents a study of Lewis, the nature of science fiction, the nature of Lewis's "Arcadian" science fiction and his (and its) place in English literary history.

I had a tenure-track position but left before I came up for tenure and the reason is the department chair. During my annual review we had a nice chat, and there seemed to be no problems. When I received my annual review there were problems. First, she stated that I hadn't published anything, which was a flat-out lie. She even acknowledged my article during our meeting, and publishing was not a high priority in the first place. She stated that I wasn't on any committees, which was another blatant canard. Her MO was to join a committee, quit it and then ask me to replace her. I was on several committees, while she said I was on none. The university exempted faculty from committees for the first two years anyway. The only student ratings she discussed was the one class where I received mediocre ratings, while my other class ratings were good to excellent. The final straw, however, came when I discovered that she was trying to get me to do her work on a grant. She had a grant to put classes online. I had completed one of the classes, and she kept demanding the contents I had created. She kept obfuscating when I asked about being paid. A colleague told me that the grant was done, she had been paid and was just waiting for my contributions. Avoid the education department at The University of Findlay at all costs!
