      abstract = {This book analyses the role of universities as critical  actors in the socio-economic development of peripheral  regions in Norway and the Czech Republic. Examining the  ambiguities of the traditional mission of a university in  comparison to contemporary demands, the editors and  contributors move past single-case analyses to adopt an  integrated conceptual and analytical framework. The authors  question whether universities can indeed 'fix' the  conditions of any region they operate in, as is a common  assumption, by examining peripheral regions, many of which  have been devastated by natural or man-made disasters.  Simultaneously acknowledging the complexities at the heart  of both higher education institutions and regions, this  book brings together a set of critical contributions that  shed light on how universities can fulfil their role in  peripheral regions rather than knowledge-intensive cities  and towns. This uniquely researched book will be of  interest to students and scholars of higher education,  universities and communities, and education policy.},
