To find similar utility at sub-national regional level, foresight methods have to adapt to a rather different and more critical combination of issues, contexts and stakeholder interests than those found nationally.
Relevance: The potential benefits of regional foresight are high, but it has not yet taken off, because of the highly-variable regional governance and economic system structures and a tendency to stress shorter term priorities. Here, the case is made for a more differentiated and customized approach to regional foresight, endorsing the efforts of a Europe-wide network of 26 organizations -
regional development agencies and specialist foresight centres - which is developing a foresight "rough guide? for regional policy-makers and foresight practitioners. | | |  hier klicken (PDF 75 KB) | |
