Kommunernas översiktsplaner ska enligt gällande lag (SFS 2007:713) samordnas med det regional tillväxtarbetet. Samtidigt förekommer det idag stora svårigheter kring att skapa en koppling mellan den kommunala och regional nivån. Syftet med studien är att granska hur Region Örebro län och Region Jönköping län samt kommuner inom regionerna valt att utveckla ett samarbete mellan den regionala och kommunala nivån. Målet med studien är att skapa kunskap som utvecklar förutsättningar för ett samarbete mellan kommunala översiktsplaner och den regionala utvecklingsstrategin. Studiens metoder grundas i kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med tjänstepersoner inom de valde regionerna och kommunerna. Parallelt har även analyser av dokument genomförs för att skapa ett generellt perspektiv. Region Örebro län och Region Jönköping län innehar ett pågående arbete av strukturbilder för regionen där målet är att skapa en starkare koppling mellan och gentemot kommuner. Resultatet visar att respektive aktör har ett behov av en mer samordnad regional planering där de främsta metoderna för samordning anses vara dialog och mötesplatser. I varierande grad förekommer det idag samarbete inom olika behovsområden som exempelvis turism, utbildning och kommunikationer. Resultatet visar även att samarbetet mellan kommuner och region är av betydelse för att exempelvis kunna möta särskilda samhällsutmaningar som ett lågt befolkningsantal. Förordningen (2007:713) om regionalt tillväxtarbete anses ha skapat en medvetenhet om samarbete mellan kommuner och regioner. Dock upplevs kunskapen kring hur samarbetet ska ske rent praktiskt saknas inom kommuner och regioner vilket leder till svårigheter. Den bristande kunskapen gällande hur samarbetet ska utföras rent praktiskt och hur arbetsprocessen skall generera i handlingskraft innebär ett hinder för aktörerna. Det finns en vilja och ett uttalat behov av ökat samarbete men det saknas idag såväl arbetsmetoder och mälsättningar för detta samarbete. / The Swedish regulation (2007:713) illustrate that the strategic plans of the municipalities should be synchronized with the regional development work. Today there are difficulties in creating a relationship between the municipalities and the regional level. The purpose of this study is to examine how Örebro county and Jönköping county have chosen to develop a collaboration with the municipalities. The aim is to present methods to develop cooperation between the municipal and regional level. The methods of this study are based on qualitative semi-structured interviews. The interviews have been done with one person from each selected region and municipality. The results show that the actors find a need for a more synchronized regional planning, where the main methods to develop a cooperation are dialogue and meeting places. Örebro county and Jönköping county has an ongoing work of structural images of the region. The goal of the structural images is to create a stronger link towards the municipalities. The results show that cooperation between the actors are of great value. There are a present cooperation in various areas such as tourism, education and commuting. The results also show that the cooperation between the actors is important to meet challenges as for example a low population. The Swedish regulation (2007:713) about regional development has created an awareness of the connection between regions and counties. However, the knowledge about how to work with the cooperation is lacking in municipalities and regions and the lack of knowledge leads to difficulties. There is a will and a need for increased cooperation, but there are no working methods or goals for the regional partnership.

In 2017, a report on how to increase economic growth and development in Sweden was handed over to the Minister of rural affairs Sven-Erik Bucht (s). One of the suggestions was to relocate 10 000 governmental jobs to regions in need of government presence. The purpose of this thesis is to establish the effects that a relocation of a state agency, as an political instrument, can have on the regional growth. The thesis objective is to answer the following questions: What positive and negative effects does agency relocation produce? and Is there a connection between a state agency’s relocation and regional economic growth? To answer these questions a model was constructed and filled with the effect findings and then related to the presumptions to economic growth. The formed hypothesis that long-term positive effects will increase growth was proven right, although it is probably a weak correlation. Conclusively, relocation of state agencies is a debatable instrument. The result of this study is that it is very expensive and costly in the short term but can be a success and prosperous in the long run for the organization, the employees and its surrounding environment.

xviii, 195 h. : il. ; 30 cm / Castilla es una provincia Arequipa que fue creada el siete de marzo del 1854. Esta provincia tiene una superficie de 6,914.48 Km2. Castilla limita al este con la provincia de Caylloma, al norte y oeste con la provincia de Condesuyos y al sur con la provincia de Camaná. Castilla cuenta con una población de 38,425 habitantes y tienen registrados 477 Centros Poblados. Castilla se caracteriza por presentar diversos atractivos turísticos entre los que destacan: las aguas termales de Orcopampa, el valle de los Volcanes en Andagua, el festival del camarón, las huellas de los dinosaurios en Corire, el nevado de Coropuna, entre otros. En la actualidad, estos no cuentan con la difusión ni infraestructura para potencializarlos como destino turístico. Además, Castilla cuenta con la producción de camarón de 9.6 toneladas y de trucha en menor cantidad. Sin embargo, esta producción puede ser incrementada aprovechando el clima de Castilla y la extensión del río Majes a través de toda la provincia. Teniendo presente lo anteriormente descrito, se ha elaborado el presente documento con el objetivo de establecer un rumbo determinado para Castilla que lo lleve al crecimiento económico y lo convierta en una de las provincias más competitivas del Perú. Asimismo, se busca que el desarrollo económico de la provincia se cohesione con una mejor infraestructura, innovación, ingresos, educación, y salud de la población. Finalmente, el presente plan estratégico de Castilla se desarrolla en diez capítulos basados en el modelo secuencial del proceso estratégico de D’Alessio (2012) / Castilla is an Arequipa province and was created on March 7, 1854. This province has an area of 6,914.48 km2. Castilla borders with the province of Caylloma, north and west with the province of Condesuyos and south with the province of Camaná. Castilla has a population of 38,425 habitants and have registered 477 towns. Castilla is characterized by attractions among which are: the hot springs of Orcopampa, the Valley of the Volcanoes in Andagua, the Shrimp Festival, traces of dinosaurs in Corire, the snowy Coropuna, among others. Currently, these are not have enough broadcast or infrastructure to be exploited it as a potencial tourist destination. In addition, Castilla has production of 9.6 tons of shrimp and trout in smaller amounts. However, this production can be increased by taking advantage of Castilla’s climate and the extension of Majes river throughout the province. According to the above described, this document has been elaborated with the aim of establishing a specific course for Castilla that lead it to economic growth and become one of the provinces more competitive of Peru. It also seeks that the economic development of the province works with better infrastructure, innovation, incomes, education, and public health of Castilla’s population. Finally, this strategic plan is developed Castilla in ten chapters based on the sequential model of the strategic process of D'Alessio (2012) / Tesis

xviii, 145 h. : il. ; 30 cm. / El planeamiento estratégico de la provincia de Camaná con proyección al 2026 ha sido desarrollado bajo el modelo del doctor Fernando D’ Alessio, el mismo que ha permitido la elaboración de una visión la cual busca la sostenibilidad, desarrollo y competitividad de la provincia de Camaná, brindando calidad de vida y progreso a sus pobladores a través del liderazgo internacional en la producción de larvas de camarón y el perfeccionamiento del sector agrícola. Se ha identificado que esta provincia puede llegar a ser líder en la producción de larvas de camarón a gran escala, por las ventajas comparativas que tiene como ríos, clima y geografía. Sin embargo la contaminación de los ríos producto de la minería informal, el uso de insecticidas y pesticidas utilizados por parte de los agricultores y el poco desarrollo en actividades de tipo acuícola; han sido el resultado para que esta provincia actualmente este rezagada económicamente en comparación con otras provincias con semejantes atributos, sumándose a ello la falta de innovación y desarrollo tecnológico, además del desinterés del gobierno a nivel local, regional y nacional. Por consiguiente, se presenta una propuesta de plan estratégico mediante el cual existe la posibilidad de generar un impacto económico positivo e integral como consecuencia de su aplicación en la provincia, articulando de manera directa los sectores acuícola y agrícola e indirectamente el sector gastronómico y otros, para lo cual se realizó un análisis de la situación general del país, de Arequipa y de la provincia de Camaná, utilizándose el modelo secuencial de planeamiento estratégico, determinándose cinco objetivos de largo plazo tomando en cuenta la visión propuesta y estableciendo nueve estrategias. El objetivo principal de este estudio es entregar a la provincia de Camaná y por ende a la población, una herramienta que les permita orientar sus esfuerzos para alcanzar un desarrollo integral, sostenido y estratégico generando el bienestar ambicionado y merecido para esta provincia / El planeamiento estratégico de la provincia de Camaná con proyección al 2026 ha sido desarrollado bajo el modelo del doctor Fernando D’ Alessio, el mismo que ha permitido la elaboración de una visión la cual busca la sostenibilidad, desarrollo y competitividad de la provincia de Camaná, brindando calidad de vida y progreso a sus pobladores a través del liderazgo internacional en la producción de larvas de camarón y el perfeccionamiento del sector agrícola.

The Canadian political economy school has argued since the late 1960s that Canada shares economic and social characteristics with semi-colonial third world countries. Consistent with this 'dependency' influenced assessment of the Canadian social formation it has also usually argued that national economic sovereignty should be a strategic concern in popular and socialist programs. This study critically evaluates this view of the economic and social context for planning interventions in Canada, in particular by examining the main empirical evidence traditionally advanced in its favour, namely the relative extent of foreign economic control in the Canadian economy. The study first reviews the various characterizations of Canada in the political economy literature, with an emphasis on the empirical evidence offered in their support. It then extends and broadens previous examinations of foreign economic control in Canada using recently released Statistics Canada data on foreign control of corporate assets and revenue up to 1992, and by comparing Canada with other OECD countries on the basis of the extent of inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI). The studies main findings are that: i) The exclusion of the financial industries in most previous discussions of the level of foreign economic control in Canada has resulted in the actual level being overstated - in nominal terms, by about one-quarter; ii) Contrary to dependency influenced predictions of the period, foreign control of the Canadian economy decreased very significantly after the early 1970s, though this declining trend apparently ended and even partially reversed after the mid 1980s. Given the central place of the US in dependency accounts it is notable that the decline in US economic control has been greater than for all foreign control, and does not appear to have recovered in the recent period up to 1992; iii) The dependency influenced categorization of Canada with countries like 'semicolonial' Argentina or even 'peripheral' Spain cannot be sustained when the evidence shows that in absolute, but especially relative terms, Canada ranks as a world leader in the scale of direct investments held in other countries. Canadian FDI in the US has also been growing considerably faster than has US FDI in Canada; iv) The level of foreign economic penetration in Canada is notably higher than most OECD countries. However, when the relative size of the Canadian economy, a 'natural' degree of continental integration and recent trends among other OECD countries are considered, Canada is not as exceptional in this regard as has often been suggested. The study concludes that this evidence indicates that Canada is more accurately conceived of as a major advanced capitalist country than a dependent (if rich) semi-colony, and that planning interventions based on the latter assessment are not only likely to fail, they are a major diversion from the required strategy.
