Regional Development in the Northern Periphery of Sweden: a Failure?

Kjell Öström and John M. Bryden

Chapter 3 in The Crises of the European Regions, 1983, pp 23-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Sweden is a welfare state said to have solved most social problems. This is, to a large extent, true. But at the beginning of the 1980s, serious problems related to the question of welfare in the geographical sense are obvious. The periphery of Sweden is lagging, and only 2 out of 10 school-leavers in Norrbotten will find a job in the Province.(1) And just outside the northern border of Sweden, militant local action against the Norwegian Central Government(2) is a matter of concern also for Swedish planners, people and politicians.
