Description of the research topic:
The topic is based on the understanding that the results and the process of local development are equally important and intertwined. The freedom of taking part in the development process as active agents, and the way of creating (adequate) knowledge are among the most important issues of local development. Therefore, the proposed research topic focuses on the “how” of development (instead of the “what” question). During the PhD research process this broad topic can be specified alongside several dimensions, e.g.: certain specific local policies (economic development, poverty alleviation, urban sustainability), citizen/representative or expert/lay relation.
