Social enterprise, strategic networks and regional development
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the way in which the UK Labour Government “framed” the policy and practice debate on social enterprise, the way in which “strategic” networks were (or were not) facilitated and the extent to which scale and geography shaped policy choices after 1997. Design/methodology/approach The paper examines three phases of development through a series of examples/case studies all of which are based in the West…
Local Economic Development and the Sub-National Review
This article examines the evolution of local government economic development activities in England against the background of central-local relations and specifically the Sub-National Review (SNR) completed as part of the Treasury's 2007 Spending Review. The exercise represented perhaps the most comprehensive assessment of this aspect of public policy ever undertaken and was notable for the enhanced status and role which was proposed for local gov…
Regional Governance in England
Debates about the appropriate territorial scales of government to meet the challenges of economic, political and social change have gained momentum in Western Europe in recent years. In the UK, political mobilization has transformed constitutional arrangements in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. By contrast, in the English regions, a less radical approach has been adopted, but the outcome has been a strengthening of the institutions of regio…
Delivering devolved approaches to local governance
English Community involvement has long been associated with measures to tackle the problems of deprived neighbourhoods, but government policies for modernising government and promoting democratic renewal have focused on the need to broaden citizen engagement and devolve decision making to local communities. Encouraging people to do things for themselves can be seen as a ‘good’ thing, but whether this participatory form of government can be achiev…

Joining It Up Locally? Area Regeneration and Holistic Government in England
The problems of deprived neighbourhoods have been a concern for government for over 30 years. A plethora of approaches has been adopted: from central-local government partnerships (Urban Programme); to 'top down', market led solutions (Urban Development Corporations, Enterprise Zones); to the competitive 'challenge funding' (City Challenge, Single Regeneration Budget) approach. This article charts how governments have sought to address the multi-…

The Government Offices for the English Regions
The Government Offices for the English regions (GORs) were established in 1994 in response to mounting pressures for improved territorial coordination in the English regions. For the first time government departments with a regional presence were brought under the management control of a single senior civil servant, the Regional Director. The article explores the underlying pressures which led to their establishment, their role and functions with…

Contracts versus competitive bidding
In recent years both Britain and France have initiated major reforms of the organization of urban policy which have followed the introduction of new mechanisms for the allocation of resources to urban regeneration schemes. In the case of City Challenge, local partnerships were invited to engage in a competitive bidding exercise while the Contrat de Ville was based on a process of negotiation between the state and the different tiers of local gove…
