Abstract

The characteristics of the case study are presented. A description of the evolution of the regional administration system and the national economic system serves as a backdrop for the case studies presented later on. Being a unitary state, Finland has a tradition of having a strong state level authority and strong municipalities and a weak regional level authorities, which has resulted in a strong presence of actors outside the politico-administrative system in regional development. Regarding the economic system, the Finnish Fordist system was abandoned in the 1990s for the benefit of the National Innovation System (NIS). Gradually, a more decentralised path creation and experimentation has emerged. The general conclusion of the case studies is that inclusive policy processes orchestrated by authorities easily fall outside the politico-administrative system.
