  • The Finnish Multi-Level Policy-Making and the Quality of Local Development Policy Process: the Cases of Oulu and Seinänaapurit Sub-Regions

The Finnish Multi-Level Policy-Making and the Quality of Local Development Policy Process: The Cases of Oulu and Seinänaapurit Sub-regions. European Planning Studies. 6(5) 505-524. Markku Sotarauta & Reija Linnamaa The Finnish Multi-Level Policy-Making and the Quality of Local Development Policy Process: The Cases of Oulu and Seinänaapurit Sub-regions ABSTRACT Theoretically this paper is based on soft strategy (communicative strategic planning) that balances different sides of policy-making, i.e. its instrumental, social, communicative and processual aspects. The main starting point in this article is that the solutions to many of the contemporary social and environmental problems on the one hand and success in economic competition on the other hand may not be found as directly as earlier believed in a search for correct answers, design of creative intended strategies or appealing visions. Instead of these means the solutions may be found in the quality of the communicative processes of decision- making, policy-making, co-operation, knowledge creation etc. Empirically this paper focuses on the analyses of the quality of policy processes in two Finnish sub-regions outside the capital region, i.e. the sub-regions of Oulu and Seinänaapurit. First, the Finnish multi-level regional policy-making is described by programming procedures, second, the communicative strategic planning based theoretical framework is set, third, criteria for the analysis of the quality of policy process are created, fourth, such important analytical dimensions as information flow between key-actors, surplus value brought by each actor, commitment, touching-points between strategies, learning, forums, trust and responsibility are briefly analysed in the context of case sub-regions.

Introduction In the era of knowledge-based economy the regional or local knowledge environment and innovation environments for specific business areas have become more important. In the knowledge-based economy the base of knowledge constantly evolves institutionally. The institutional evolvement actualizes itself by linking different kinds of knowledge-creation institutions to the knowledge-exploitation organizations and sub-systems through new kinds of knowledge-enhancing mechanisms, and mainly from R&D conducted in relation to regional capabilities (Cooke and Leydesdorff, 2004). Furthermore, new institutions are taking part in the local innovation networks, shaping the technological change and transformation in the region for the benefits of all parties, local businesses, universities or other higher education institutions and local/ national development authorities. If a region has only little formal and informal research and a few development institutions and particularly little interaction between them, actors find it more difficult to transform information (resources) into new knowledge and innovations.
