    Contextualising City-regional Issues, Strategies and their Use: the Flemish Story
    in Local Government Studies , Vol. 34, issue 4 ,  2008 ,  453 - 470
    This paper presents a contextualised analysis of what might be called the city-regional debate. The debate is unfolded in terms of four types of city-regional issues, eight common strategies to tackle the latter and the use thereof in Flanders. It is concluded that the way in which city-regional issues are dealt with in Flanders can be explained by its regime, consisting of an administrative, political and cultural dimension, in terms of a centralistic policy style combined with a weak institutional position of local governments, by a 'localisation' of regional politics and policies, both dominated by an anti-urban bias
