Abstract

The ongoing globalization and state preferences for centralization of the public sector giving priority to largescale economics have caused problems for the living conditions especially in the rural areas. However, the caused consequence of this policy has created a lack of social coherence and has become a problem for politicians and citizens. It has therefore been necessary for the politicians to make a change in the economic policy including less centralization and diminishment of the “new public management” that have been ruling for many years.
This paper investigates the changed policy and its consequences especially in relation to physical planning, IT and state redistribution of income. A focus is on the movement of state jobs away from the capital.
