Sommario/riassunto

Economic regions competing in a global marketplace may well describe the emerging organizing principle of metropolitan areas. Even though the concept of a metropolitan region is relatively new, the road to the metropolitan region travels through an area of well-established institutions and cultural values-the land of local government. This book is about the development of new ways of governing metropolitan regions in the United States within the context of the globalizing of the economy and the historical role and function of local government.

Sommario/riassunto

In international research, metafictionality and other metaliterary features have typically been regarded as phenomena related to postmodernist fiction, in particular - Metaliterary Layers in Finnish Literature, however, discusses the metalayers of Finnish literature from the early 20th century to the present. By analyzing different genres of Finnish literature in varying historical contexts Metaliterary Layers in Finnish Literature provides an abundance of new information on Finnish literature and its metaliterary phenomena for everyone interested. In the articles of this book, the metalayers of literature are discussed in experimental prose and poetry as well as in popular fiction and children's literature.
