The (sub)political role of ‘regional circular ecosystems’ in the transformation towards the circular economy
The transition towards a more circular economy (CE) is advancing slowly and is even faltering. Recent CE literature has therefore urged for a more plural-political perspective and for more focus on the region as a practical site or ‘ecosystem’ of transformation. Meeting these calls, this paper develops and applies a conceptual framework bridging plural politics, policy-making and a view of the region as value-based ecosystems. We thus contribute …

Business history and the resilience of regional economies
While resilience has become a key concern within a variety of disciplines in recent years, it requires further development in the field of business history. With the aim of providing new conceptual and empirical insights into the study of regional business history, in this introduction to this special issue we provide a general overview to the literature on regional economic resilience and to the concept of resilience. This is followed by a revie…

Rethinking the political economy of place
The global financial crisis of just over a decade ago exposed longer-term systemic problems in global capitalism of which two of the most prominent are the slowdown in the underlying trend rate of productivity growth, alongside a rise in economic and spatial inequalities in many advanced economies. The Covid-19 pandemic looks set to further amplify these problems. This Editorial begins by discussing the scale of the productivity slowdown and of t…
Renewing industrial regions? Advanced manufacturing and industrial policy in Britain
The UK’s industrial strategy, with local variants, aims to support manufacturing in ‘traditional industrial regions’ (TIRs). Using novel data for advanced manufacturing (AM) industries over several decades, we examine long-term changes in their geography by regions and local authority districts. These industries have shifted away from large urban regions, and local authority districts in TIRs have lost ground relative to those in other regions, a…

Does spatial proximity raise firm productivity? Evidence from British manufacturing
The UK’s economy is one of the most regionally imbalanced in Europe. The government’s recent industrial strategy discusses various means of addressing this, one of which is the strengthening of existing clusters. Using plant-level indices of spatial proximity derived from postcode district data, this article investigates the extent of spatial concentration and its impact on total factor productivity in advanced manufacturing sectors in Great Brit…

The city dimension of the productivity growth puzzle
Across OECD countries productivity growth has slowed, not just in recent years but over the past four decades: the so-called productivity puzzle. This paper examines the differing productivity growth paths of some 85 British cities since the beginning of the 1970s, and explores how far these paths reflect differences across cities in the pace and nature of structural change. We find that while northern cities led productivity growth over 1971–91 …
Institutional change in cities and regions
This article aims to make significant advances in the development of a path dependency approach to understanding institutional change at the subnational level in the context of economic development. This approach allows for a differentiated treatment of various types of institutions. Moreover, the approach can also take account of the structures and processes at various levels of scale, as well as the role of agency in bringing about change. Thes…
Growing apart? Structural transformation and the uneven development of British cities
Structural change is now widely considered to be an important aspect of national economic growth. The issue is not only relevant at the macro-economic level, but also has a direct bearing on the growth of regions and cities. In this article, we examine the relationship between structural transformation and economic (output) growth across British cities over the last half-century. During this time, the British economy has gone through a series of …
New directions in researching regional economic resilience and adaptation
The paper has two objectives. Firstly, to disentangle several debates with regard to regional economic resilience: What is it exactly? Which types can we distinguish? How can we operationalise it? And how can we conceptualise how it works? The second objective is to outline new directions for researching regional economic resilience. Thus far, research on regional economic resilience has been dominated by quantitative studies looking at how regio…
