Regional Development Policies in OECD Countries Regional Development Policies in OECD Countries Policy makers need both a handy reference guide to the regional policies of their own and other countries and a broader analysis of trends in regional policies, based on sound, comparable information. systematic, comparativeRegional Development analysis of OECDPolicies countries’ in OECD regionalCountries policies. responds to this need. It is the first The report addresses fundamental regional policy concerns, such as: problem recognition; the objectives of regional policy; the legal/institutional framework; the urban/rural framework; budget structures; and the governance mechanisms linking national and sub-national governments as well as sectors. It begins with an overview of the regional policy today. This is followed by country profiles covering OECD members. The profiles share a common conceptual framework, allowing countries to see how their experiences measure up. The report also contains several annexes, which provide an outline of regional policies in the EU. The annexes also cover the key topics of cross-border Regional Development co-operation and trends in urban-rural linkages, with a focus on efforts to control urban sprawl. The report will help countries to better understand regional policies and to formulate and diffuse Policies in OECD Countries horizontal policy recommendations.

The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies. The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission takes part in the work of the OECD. OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members. This work is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD. The opinions expressed and arguments employed herein do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Organisation or of the governments of its member countries.

FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Across the OECD, the globalisation of trade and economic activity increasingly tests the ability of regional economies to adapt and exploit or maintain their competitive edge. On the one hand, there is a tendency for performance gaps to widen between and within regions, and the cost of maintaining cohesion is increasing. On the other hand, rapid technological change, the extension of markets and the greater use of knowledge offer new opportunities for local and regional development. This requires further investment in the business environment, reorganisation of labour and production, and upgrading skills and environmental improvements. All of these trends are leading public authorities to reconsider their strategies. The role of policies aimed at improving the competitiveness of regions by promoting the valorisation and use of endogenous resources has been strengthened. Along these lines, the vertical distribution of power between the different tiers of government and the decentralisation of resources and competencies need to be reassessed in order to better respond to the diverse opportunities and demands of the different regions and improve policy efficiency. Public authorities need to weigh current challenges, evaluate the strategies pursued in recent years and define new options. Comparing regional policies across OECD member countries suggests future directions and best practices for policy makers. However, such information has often been limited. This report is a handy reference to regional policies and offers some tools for cross-country analysis based on sound comparable information. It is the first systematic comparative analysis of OECD member countries’ regional policies. The report covers key issues, such as problem recognition, objectives of regional policy, legal/institutional frameworks, urban/rural frameworks, budget structures, and governance mechanisms between national and sub-national governments as well as across sectors. The comparative analysis uses a common conceptual framework, which allows countries to share their experiences. The analysis suggests an important role for regional policies in shaping sustainable endogenous development, notably the need for well-developed

Using knowledge of general development and knowing the basic triad of concentration characterized by the triadic measure of chaos, order, and choice (chaos—order— choice), we will try to unify the dualities of (1) system – deci- sion, (2) city – human, and (3) order – chaos. In the first part of this book, we will therefore focus in detail on the essence of decisions and the process by which deci- sions are made: also known as decision-making. Using several analogies between human decision-making and processes tak- ing place in the highest management layers of the city, we will try to illustrate the essence of making every single decision.

The Digital Roadmap of the Austrian government emphasizes the need of co- production of public services as a key element to public service delivery and, subsequently, innovation of the public sector. To understand how co-production in digital service delivery is implemented in Austria, we conducted interviews with 41 experts from public administrations in order to understand who is involved in such processes, how they are involved, and what outcomes are to be achieved.

  • Making Prevention Work Case Study Austria 16
    16 Making Prevention Work Case Study Austria Falk Ebinger In 2011, the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Bertelsmann Stiftung launched the model project, “Kein Kind zurücklassen! Kommunen in NRW beugen vor” (“Leave no child behind! Municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia providing equal opportunities for all children”) (KeKiz). The goal of this initiative remains unchanged: To partner with model municipalities in creating opportunities that enable every child and young person – regardless of background – to benefit from a successful upbringing and participate in society. The initiative has been guided by academic research since its inception. Together with its partners from academia, the Bertelsmann Stiftung oversees the research that accompanies the initiative. In partnership with a range of academic collaborators, we will periodically publish the insights and findings from the accompa- nying academic research on municipal prevention efforts. The “Materials about preven- tion” series also aims to communicate findings on related issues and the insights gained from taking a broader academic view of the model project.

Explanatory memorandum .................................................................................................................. 5 Summary The report considers the situation of local and regional democracy in Austria. It is the first monitoring report since Austria ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 1987. It expresses satisfaction over the state of local democracy which is in compliance with the Charter in general and underlines the specific cooperative nature of the Austrian federal system linking various levels of local and federal government. It takes note, however, that the efforts made to restructure the federal system have not produced tangible results and expresses concern that local governments are still under considerable supervision by federal authorities, particularly as regards limitations on fiscal and administrative autonomy. The report recommends to the Austrian Government to introduce an overall institutional reform of the federal system, clarifying competences and strengthening local government financially, by granting them more resources and flexibility, including tax autonomy and the possibility to conclude agreements
