The Scandinavian Welfare Model: Four Countries - Four regional models

On May 9th, the AER and the region of Hedmark jointly organised a seminar on regional developments in Scandinavia.

In the past few years, there have been a number of significant developments in regionalisation processes in Scandinavia, with new regional structures being developed throughout the north of Europe. Throughout these developments, themes such as the distribution of responsibilities and the financing of regional government have constantly come to the fore. Subsidiarity has increasingly emerged as an important theme underpinning governance throughout the region, and indeed in the whole European continent.
The seminar will explored the recent developments in regional governance in Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and brought together experts and practitioners from each country to exchange experience with participants and to debate lessons learnt in each country.
