A Mystical Therapy
One of the central themes of this journal is to 're-boot' the mystical tradition for the contemporary seeker. The author, a practising psychotherapist, undertakes this in the present article by connecting three strands of thought and practice to propose a 'mystical therapy'. First, there is the Christian mystical tradition as exemplified by the medieval tradition of theologia mystica. Second, the practices and insights of present-day therapy and …
O Magnum Mysterium? Eco-theology at the foot of the Cross
In Laudato Si’ , Pope Francis urges not just a renewal of respect for creation but also a metanoia in our attitude to the created world. This article is a response to the Pontiff's challenge, exploring how a distinctively ‘modern’ approach to creation arose in the late nineteenth century which still influences our attitudes today. As those attitudes arose, however, the article argues that Christian thinkers were able to articulate other approache…
Raising the Soul in Love
This paper explores St Ignatius Loyola's relationship to the medieval tradition of theologia mystica, especially in the Spiritual Exercises. Although the evidence is scanty, it is clear that the young Iñigo was acquainted with the methods and structures of Abbot García de Cisneros' Exercitatorio de La Vida Espiritual during his extended stay at Montserrat and Manresa after his conversion of life. Commentators have disagreed over the extent of the…
Gated communities and land administration challenges in Ghana
Gated communities are proliferating in most developing countries. Scholars, however, continue to rely on mainstream demand-based arguments mostly framed in developed countries to explain this phenomenon, without giving sufficient attention to context-specific factors. Presenting the case of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area in Ghana and using household surveys and key informant interviews, this article emphasizes Ghana’s land administration cha…
How Regions React to Recessions
Martin R., Sunley P., Gardiner B. and Tyler P. How regions react to recessions: resilience and the role of economic structure, Regional Studies. This paper examines how employment in the major UK regions has reacted to the four major recessions of the last 40 years, namely 1974-76, 1979-83, 1990-93 and 2008-10. The notions of resistance and recoverability are used to examine these reactions. The analysis reveals both continuities and significant …
Spatially Rebalancing the UK Economy
Martin R., Pike A., Tyler P. and Gardiner B. Spatially rebalancing the UK economy: towards a new policy model?, Regional Studies. The current UK government has announced its intention to rebalance the national economy spatially, to create a ‘northern powerhouse’ to rival that in London and the South East. This imbalance is in fact a longstanding problem that 90 years of regional policy has not resolved. This paper argues that the entrenched natur…

Valuing the Benefits of Urban Regeneration
Although there have been many initiatives designed to regenerate relatively run-down and deprived parts of major urban areas, there have been surprisingly few attempts to value their benefits. This article presents the findings of research that has sought to value the benefits of urban regeneration policies. The focus has been on devising an approach that can build on the evidence provided from urban evaluations undertaken in many countries at th…

Evaluating the impact of the structural funds on objective 1 regions
Martin R. and Tyler P. (2006) Evaluating the impact of the Structural Funds on Objective 1 regions: an exploratory discussion, Regional Studies 40, 201–210. Evaluation evidence on the impact of the Structural Funds on employment in Objective 1 regions remains elusive. This paper seeks to make a contribution to this task by evaluating the impact of European Union regional policy on cumulative job creation in the least prosperous Objective 1 region…
Assessing the Effect of Area Based Initiatives on Local Area Outcomes
During the past 25 years, there has been an extensive use of Area Based Initiatives (ABIs) to regenerate run-down areas in many countries. However, despite their increased popularity, evidence on their success in helping to turn around depressed areas remains elusive. The evidence base has been constrained by inadequate understanding of the theory of change behind the policy intervention, insufficient development of evaluation theory and method a…

Gardiner B., Martin R. and Tyler P. (2004) Competitiveness, productivity and economic growth across the European regions, Regional Studies38, 1037- 1059. During the last few years, there has been a significant interest by both academics and policy-makers in the notion of regional competitiveness. Yet, despite the relative popularity of the term, there is a surprisingly lack of consensus about what is meant by the competitiveness of regions and ci…
New Developments in Area-based Initiatives in England
This article reports recent research that has assessed the achievements of one of the most extensive area-based initiatives (ABIs) that has ever been adopted in England-namely, the Single Regeneration Budget. This research has sought to ascertain whether, at least in relation to the findings from SRB, there is evidence that the ABI has delivered what was expected of it and thus whether the underlying rationale for its deployment was valid. The ar…
Regional Employment Evolutions in the European Union
MARTIN R. and TYLER P.(2000) Regional employment evolutions in the European Union: a preliminary analysis, Reg. Studies 34, 601-616. In recent years there has been considerable interest by academics and policy makers in comparing the employment performance of the European Union with that of the US. In comparison to Europe, the US economy has generated jobs at a dramatically higher rate. However, what is perhaps not as obvious is that there have b…
The Distribution of SRB Challenge Fund Expenditure in Relation to Local-area Need in England
During the 1980s and the 1990s there were a number of policy initiatives designed to tackle the problems of the urban areas in the UK. By the early 1990s these initiatives represented the commitment of over £1 billion of public expenditure each year. The initiatives encompassed 'area'-based approaches like Enterprise Zones and Urban Development Corporations at one extreme through to more 'people'-orientated, project-led approaches as in the case …
Enterprising Behaviour and the Urban-Rural Shift
The paper presents and discusses new evidence on the nature and causes of the urban-rural shift of business activity and employment in England, derived from a matched pairs survey of over 1000 manufacturing and service businesses in remote rural, accessible rural and urban settlements. It reveals faster employment growth in rural firms, highlights the migration origins of and environmental influences on rural firm founders, and identifies signifi…
The Influence of Regional Development Incentives and Infrastructure on the Location of Small and Medium Sized Companies in Europe
Greater levels of economic integration within Europe will bring more intense competition, not least for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper identifies the key factors in the SME location decision from a survey of almost 1400 companies. The most important factor was the availability of regional development assistance, followed by the quality and size of the labour supply, including wage levels, and the potential for future expans…

Tyler P. and Rhodes J. (1986) The census of production as an indicator of regional differences in productivity and profitability in the United Kingdom, Reg. Studies 20, 331–339. This paper identifies the major difficulties in using Census of Production data for measuring differences in regional productivity and efficiency in manufacturing in the United Kingdom and assesses how these difficulties have become more serious in recent years. The paper…
