Back to the Local? Recalibrating the Regional Tier of Governance in England
By contrast to the far-reaching devolution settlements elsewhere in the UK, political agreement on the governance of England outside London remains unsettled. There is cross party consensus on the need to ‘decentre down’ authority to regions and localities, but limited agreement on how this should be achieved. This paper explores the welter of initiatives adopted by the recent Labour Government that were ostensibly designed to make the meso level…
Sub-national Responses to Climate Change in England
The machinery of governance to address climate change at the sub-national level in England continues to evolve. Drawing on documentary evidence and the views of civil servants and local authority officials from the English West Midlands, this article explores the process through an examination of the inclusion of climate change indicators in the recent round of Local Area Agreements (LAAs), negotiated between central government and local authorit…
Governance in the English Regions
In the absence of regional government, New Labour has pursued a process of administrative decentralisation in the English regions outside London, including the appointment of Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), charged with stimulating economic modernisation and assisting in reducing regional economic disparities. They have acquired a key position as strategic power-brokers situated between the agendas of Whitehall and the demands of sub-nation…

Emerging Patterns of Governance in the English Regions
Pearce G. and Ayres S. (2007) Emerging patterns of governance in the English regions: the role of Regional Assemblies, Regional Studies 41, 699–712. The case for elected English regional government outside London has lost momentum, but the machinery of regional governance continues to expand. This paper explores the significance of this process through an examination of the evolution of Regional Assemblies. Each has progressed differently, but al…
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…
Decentralisation and devolution to the English regions
Building regional governance in England
English Constitutional arrangements in parts of the UK have been transformed by political devolution. In England, however, reliance has been placed on strengthening the regional tier through administrative decentralisation. Drawing on the views of Whitehall civil servants, this article explores how central–regional relations are being recalibrated and how government is building a regional perspective into its activities. We conclude that, in the …
Central government responses to governance change in the English regions
The consequence of recent devolution is that territories in the UK are now governed in different ways. Elected government has yet to be extended to the English regions but they, too, have experienced institutional change in the form of administrative decentralization. Regional governance should provide the opportunity for increased co-ordination of regional strategies but it is frustrated by lack of policy co-ordination within central government.…
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…

Achieving Personal Data Protection in the European Union
Actions aimed at exploiting the benefits of information and communication technologies have become a major focus of European Community (EC) policy.The new technologies offer considerable benefits to consumers, businesses and governments, but there is growing concern that their widespread use may threaten the privacy of personal information. Increases in transborder data flows, within the EC and globally, imply that a EC‐wide, and ultimately a glo…
