 abstract = {"In a country where worker representatives lack broadly institutionalized
roles as “social partners,” how can they play a constructive role in solving
the problems of regional development? In Buffalo, New York, regularized,
labor-inclusive procedures of problem solving involving multiple
coalition partners – what we call a high-road social infrastructure – has
emerged. Socially engaged researchers and educators have played a role in
spreading lessons and organizing dialogue. Despite the emergence of regional
cooperation, however, successful development politics are hampered
by many of the same problems seen in European regions, including
uncertainty about the best union strategy, hostility from business and political
elites and the enormity of the region’s long-term structural problems." (author's abstract)},
