Project description
The Re-North research departs from an assumption that cross-border governance and regional agencies and relations are interlinked with regional and social resilience and might be simultaneously vulnerable and persistent in itself.
The research will approach cross-border region resilience with a focus on regional and state authorities and planners, local communities and education institutions in the Nordic North Calotte and in the Finnish-Russian border municipalities.
The project is inspired by human geography/political geography, multidisciplinary border studies and social scientific resilience research debates.
