This book analyses the role of universities as critical actors in
the socio-economic development of peripheral regions in Norway and
the Czech Republic. Examining the ambiguities of the traditional
mission of a university in comparison to contemporary demands, the
editors and contributors move past single-case analyses to adopt an
integrated conceptual and analytical framework. The authors
question whether universities can indeed 'fix' the conditions of
any region they operate in, as is a common assumption, by examining
peripheral regions, many of which have been devastated by natural
or man-made disasters. Simultaneously acknowledging the
complexities at the heart of both higher education institutions and
regions, this book brings together a set of critical contributions
that shed light on how universities can fulfil their role in
peripheral regions rather than knowledge-intensive cities and
towns. This uniquely researched book will be of interest to
students and scholars of higher education, universities and
communities, and education policy.
