Is there a need for transnational learning?

Both Finland and Norway have several small cities and geographically isolated industrial towns which depend upon one or a few industries, often based on natural resource extraction. These are often titled one-company towns or one-generation towns. This chapter investigates restructuring policy in peripheral and one-company towns in Norway and Finland. The Norwegian policy is regarded as an ideal, and an analysis of the case of Kaskö in Finland illustrates how Norwegian practices could be of use also in the Finnish context.
