Regions undergoing transition: the roles of unions and their peak bodies

该项目旨在调查工会及其高峰机构如何能够以有益的方式采取行动，促进区域社会经济发展。该项目预计将产生关于区域复兴进程的知识，包括工会及其高峰机构可能参与的方式。预期成果包括理论发展和对这些区域参与进程的解释，以加强区域过渡。它还将全面完善劳工和区域研究的研究方法。这应该会带来重大好处，从而能够在区域一级制定具有参与性和包容性的过渡政策。它将使工人、他们的家庭和社区受益。

The project aims to investigate how unions and their peak bodies can act in beneficial ways to promote regional socio-economic development. This project expects to generate knowledge of the processes of regional renewal, including the ways unions and their peak bodies may be involved. Expected outcomes include theory development and explanations of these processes of regional engagement to enhance regional transition. It will also provide a comprehensive refinement of research methodologies for labour and regional studies. This should provide significant benefits enabling the development of engaged and inclusive transition policies at a regional level. It will benefit workers, their households and communities.
