The boy looked at Johnny dreaming of England: A memoir of punk 50 years on
Evaluating future mobility: Back to the future in the UK policy
Increasing urbanisation in the world economy in the last 50 years has produced a number of profound challenges for the organisation and management of economy and society. In recent years these challenges have been compounded by climate changes geo-political risk, uncertainty and consequent conflicts; disease pandemics; and, rising income and territorial inequalities, all of which have had profound consequences for mobility. For many policy makers…

Space exploration as a propulsive industry in levelling up
In recent decades the importance of space exploration and its associated economy and industry have grown significantly. Beyond its scientific, technological, and engineering advantages space exploration has created significant direct and indirect socioeconomic benefits. Apart from economic growth, employment, and providing a fiscal contribution, these benefits include cultural, educational, environmental, and social benefits that can be termed co…
Place-based industrial strategies in the context of the Northern Ireland Protocol
As a lagging regional economy that underperforms the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland represents a number of continuing challenges that have a long history. In recent years, technologies and processes associated with Industry 4.0 have had little impact with a few exceptions. Yet these activities have become central to industrial policy and strategies in the last two decades, in spite of the path-dependent nature of the economy. The underperforman…
What can city leaders do for climate change? Insights from the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group network
This paper sheds light on what city leaders can do about climate change in the context of the complex extra-territorial challenges they face. We created an original database of those actions implemented by members of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and investigated which boundary organizations, objects and experiences (‘boundary cooperative arrangements’) can be triggered to undertake climate change actions by city leaders. Through a seco…

Brexit and beyond: A Pandora’s Box
A fundamental challenge for addressing ‘Brexit and Beyond’ is its multi-faceted and multi-dimensional nature. This is also reflected in the multitude of analytical accounts of its causes and potential outcomes. These accounts, however, have tended to focus on voting behaviours and a number of economic scenarios in general. This special issue makes a different contribution in focusing on four lines of enquiry that can be generalised into a critica…
Sense making of Brexit for economic citizenship in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland appears to be the keystone for building a sustainable outcome for Brexit for the whole of the United Kingdom and its future relationship with the other Member States of the European Union, especially the Republic of Ireland. The complex constitutional, political, socio-economic, geographical and cultural position of Northern Ireland means that resolving the current negotiating difficulties rests on a wider set of considerations. …
A Framework for city leadership in multilevel governance settings: The comparative contexts of Italy and the UK
This paper discusses the role of city leadership in the current multilevel governance settings and provides a conceptual framework for understanding the main elements of city leadership. Forms of political, managerial and civic leadership have been distinguished within city leadership and the main actors, structures, processes and followership \npatterns are examined using Italy and the UK as starting points of \ncomparison. This comparative fram…
Into the void: A realist evaluation of the eGovernment for You ( Egov4U ) project
‘ e-government for You’ ( EGOV4U) was a European Commission (EC) funded project developed to pilot models of multi-channel, public and community e-services designed to tackle social exclusion and disadvantage through a range of initiatives delivered by five project partners from a variety of European countries. The project evaluation employed a theory-driven approach and the use of mixed methods for data capture and analysis. In this article we c…

Europe 2020: A strategy in search of a regional policy rationale
This article critically examines the European Union's (EU) 10-year strategy Europe 2020; A European strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, in the context of the financial and fiscal crisis and the fifth Cohesion Report produced by the European Commission in 2010. It does so in order to develop the argument that without a regional policy rationale that rests on the application of industrial policy as a fulcrum for integrating the di…
Re-regulating the financial system: The return of state or societal corporatism
The aftermath of the global credit crunch and financial crisis which began in late 2007 has led to a focus on the reform of the financial system and a rebalancing in the affected economies. Financial crises are endemic to capitalist societies and although there tends to be a common cause to them all, timing, place, and scale and scope may differ. There is a charge that the social sciences, and economists in particular, were either ill-equipped or…
A Cohesion Pact for the Regions: A role for industrial policy
The Lisbon Agenda of 2000 and the supporting Sapir and Kok Reports have set the parameters of economic policy in the European Union (EU) in the medium term. The asymmetric regime of economic governance locks manifold regions and industries into an inflexible and unbalanced policy environment so that the objectives of Lisbon may be difficult to achieve. The monetary straitjacket of the euro, buttressed by the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability an…

Conceptual Framework for Regional Competitiveness
Budd L. and Hirmis A. K. (2004) Conceptual framework for regional competitiveness, Regional Studies38, 1007-1020. The concept of territorial competitiveness has gained ground in academic, policy and practitioner circles. In particular, urban competitiveness has generated a large literature. However, there is a danger that competitiveness at a territorial level becomes a conceptual chimera. The essential problem is that territorially based actors …

Financial Services and the Urban System: An Exploration
Financial services have come to represent an increasingly important sector in the economies of developed nations. Although a substantial literature has accumulated on this topic, relatively little attention has been given to the locational aspects of financial services. An attempt is made here to examine the spatial structure of this sector in terms of the urban system, drawing on the principles of central-place theory, the limitations and applic…
Territorial Competition and Globalisation: Scylla and Charybdis of European Cities
Policy-makers in Europe have been concerned with developing and sustaining the competitiveness of their cities. This concern comes from the view that the determing parameter of urban regions is globalisation. By engaging in a process of territorial competition, the economic and social welfare of cities' constituent territories can be maintained. What this paper argues is that there is a danger that territorial competition is as much an abstractio…

Globalisation, Territory and Strategic Alliances in Different Financial Centres
The debates about globalisation, global finance and global cities appear to confuse global and international changes and seem a-historical. This paper begins with a sceptical assessment of globalisation and asks whether a globalised economy is really an internationalised one. The paper then addresses an aspect of global finance—the national impetus given to alliances between markets in major cities. The financial derivatives markets, particularly…

Global Finance and Urban Living: A Study of Metropolitan Change
This incisive inter-disciplinary text provides a major contribution to the study of finance capital and the metropolis. It is the first authoritative account of the momentous changes in the organisation of finance capital that occurred in the 1980s. But it never contents itself with a mere record of events. Changes in finance are scrupulously and consistently related to changes in urban forms, notably metropolitan lifestyles and aesthetics
