From service provider to network node: Does the Counties' coordination role contribute to goal attainment and public sector innovation?

The project address how the Counties - the democratically governed regional level- act as a multi-level node to handle complex environmental, social and economic goals involving a broad array of stakeholders from the public, private and civil sector, res iding at various governance levels. The project will study how the Counties perform their coordination roles in the three distinct policy-fields of water management, health promotion and regional development, and assess how this performance contributes to national goal attainment and policy innovation. In all three focus areas, planning is a main coordination tool. The project therefore shed light on the condition for sustainable planning at the regional level.The project has a multi-level perspective w here the Counties' coordination role and strategies is focused. The coordniation role is captured through a processual study of the coordination measures used to coordinate international, national, regional and local actors. Such measures can be based upo n hierarchical-, market- and/or network coordination-rationalities. The effects will be highlighted through a output study focusing on the implementaion of national goals in three policy-fields and development of public policy innovation. The project wi ll study the Counties' coordination role and strategies from three angles:First, by further analysing and combining existing and new quantitative data highlighting the Counties' role in water management, health promotion and regional economic development . Second, by conducting three case-studies of Hedmark County, Møre and Romsdal County and Østfold County. These counties are chosen because they represent new and innovative use of coordination instruments. Third, by making a comparative analysis of corre sponding activities at the regional level in Denmark and Sweden by integrating Scandinavian partners that have conducted similar studies in their countries.
