Devolution And Regionalism The Uk Experience

Devolution, Regionalism and Regional Development provides an assessment of the development of devolution, regionalism and regional development in the UK from the late 1990s to the end of the Blair Governments. It provides a research-based analysis of issues central to the development of devolution and regionalism, focusing equally on politics, governance and planning. This multidisciplinary book brings together leading researchers in political science, geography, regional planning, public policy, management, public administration and sociology. The three parts of the book focus on: the development of devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; the general development of English regionalism and specific developments in London and the South-east and Yorkshire and the Humber; and finally approaches to regional development both across the UK as a whole, and specifically in Scotland, Wales and England. A concluding chapter seeks to assess the changing regional capacity of the UK and place analysis of the UK into comparative perspective. This will be an important book for those researching and studying devolution, regionalism and regional development as well as those involved in their practice.Bradbury, Jonathan is the author of 'Devolution And Regionalism The Uk Experience', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415323611 and ISBN 0415323614.
