The evolution of the Wellcome Trust and market-based philanthropy in the UK

The role of system-building agency in regional path creation: Insights from the emergence of artificial intelligence in Montreal
The emergence of new industries that are not closely related to existing regional paths remains an underexplained process in evolutionary economic geography. This paper responds to this gap through a case study of a maturing ecosystem of activity related to artificial intelligence in Montreal, Canada. Conceptually it brings together recent thinking in economic geography about agency in path development with complementary concepts from the literat…
Making Sense of Industrial Decline: How Legacies of the Past Influence the Development of Entrepreneurship Cultures in Formerly Industrialized Places

Based on a study with entrepreneurs and policymakers in Doncaster, a post-industrial English town in South Yorkshire, the paper demonstrates how legacies of the past persist through local informal institutions an…

Drawing on interviews with professionals in the UK legal services sector, the article highlights how technological and market pressures combi…

However, the scope and focus of enterprise policy at the LEP level c…

Penal Practice and Culture, 1500-1900: Punishing the English
THIS is an unusually useful example of a genre of academic publishing that all too often goes astray—the collection of essays. The individual contributions range over four hundred years and stretch in content from a study of the seventeenth-century ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Isle of Man to Mark Rigstad's fascinating account of the way Hugo Grotius’ theory of natural rights was applied by English thinkers to the concept of punishment. The …
