description: Siden kommunalreformen i 1970 har de danske amters styrelse ligget relativt fast. Selvom styrelsesloven fra begyndelsen af 1990erne muliggjorde nye styringsformer, har hovedmodellen for amternes politiske organisering været udvalgsstyret. Med nedlæggelse af amterne og oprettelse af de fem nye regioner, forlades denne hovedmodel imidlertid til fordel for en rådsmodel, som blandt andet fastsætter en ny ramme for varetagelse af den umiddelbare forvaltning og for regionsformandens funktioner. Denne styrelsesordning indføres pr. 1. januar i henholdsvis region Hovedstaden, Sjælland, Syddanmark, Midtjylland og Nordjylland.Projektet belyser særligt tre hovedområder: Rådsmodellens implementering i de fem regioner; politisk ledelse; styring og kontrol under rådsmodellen; demokrati; ansvar og responsivitet under rådsmodellen.De primære undersøgelsesmetoder er:
      1. Interview med udvalgte politikere og topembedsmænd i regionerne
      
      2. Spørgeskema til regionsrådmedlemmer
      
      3. Interviewundersøgelse med 1000 borgere i hver region
      
      4. Observationer af møder i henholdsvis regionsråd , forretningsudvalg og adhoc udvalg
      
      5. Analyser af dagsordener, referater og andet skriftligt materiale
    Dette studie "Evaluering af den politiske styringsmodel i de fem regioner - Politikersurvey, 2009" bygger på en spørgeskemaundersøgelse med 123 respondenter, gennemført af Capacent Epinion. Spørgeskemaet er selvadministreret og rundsendt til alle regionspolitikere i de 5 regioner, og spørgsmålene fokuserer på konsekvenserne ved regionernes nye styreform; herunder for den politiske beslutningsproces; forskellige politiske organer og positioners indflydelse; politisk lederskab;  politikernes rolleopfattelser; deres arbejdsbetingelser og samspillet mellem politikere og embedsmænd.
description: Since the local government reform in 1970 the governance of the Danish counties has remained unchanged. The Local Government Act made new forms of local government systems possible in the 1990’ies. However, the counties continued to be governed by committees. In connection with the structural reform this form of government was abandoned in favour of the cabinet system which established a new framework for the administration of the regions and the duties of the regional council chairman. This form of governance will be implemented 1st January 2007 in the Danish regions.This study mainly focuses on three subjects: The implementation of the cabinet system in the five regions; political leadership, governance and control in the cabinet system; democracy, responsibility and responsiveness in the cabinet system.The methods used in the data collection include:
      -	Interviews with selected politicians and top officials in the regions.
      
      -	Questionnaires completed by members of the Regional Councils.
      
      -	A survey conducted among 1000 citizens in each region.
      
      -	Observations of meetings in the regional councils, executive committees and ad hoc committees.
      
      -	Analyses of agendas, minutes and other written materials.
    This study was based on a questionnaire survey conducted by Capacent Epinion among 123 respondents. The questionnaire was self-administered and was sent out to all politicians in the five regions. The questions are focused on which impact the structural reform had on the regions, including: The political decision making process, the influence of different political bodies, political leadership, the politicians’ perception of their own role, their working conditions and the cooperation between politicians and civil servants.
