Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course aims to provide an insight into the challenges of peripheral and remote regions when it comes to regional development by looking at the Lower-Austrian – Czech border region. In doing so, region-specific questions will be
examined and the regional potential, local institutions and projects analysed. By investigating the case-region, the course will provide insights into various regional development approaches and allow to draw comparisons between development strategies of peripheral and remote regions. Empirical social research methods will be used for the analysis.

Assessment and permitted materials

The participants shall be sensitized to questions dealing with regional development in different peripheral and remote regions in Austria and its neighbouring countries as well as for their challenges and development chances (1), analyse and become familiar with relevant institutions and scientific literature (2) and with applying empirical social research methods (3) (e.g. questionnaire, expert discussions, multi-sited ethnography).

Attendance of all on-site and lecture dates is required.
Submission dates and other assessment criteria will be outlined in the first lecture and uploaded to the Moodle platform.
