This essay updates the once vibrant political economy literature on Manchester and argues that good governance, as well as good fortune, underpinned an uneven but strong urban-regional renaissance from the late 1980s through the economic boom period leading up to the financial crisis. After establishing the case for making this claim, it goes on to consider the extent to which Manchester and its broader city-region has proven resilient in the face of recession and is likely to be affected by the fall-out that will result from UK government attempts to manage the second phase of the crisis through swingeing public expenditure cuts and fundamental policy realignment. It concludes by anticipating whether a radically changed economic and political environment is likely to lead to the continuation, collapse or recalibration of Manchester's unique and emergent city-regional governance arrangements.Résumé Réactualisant les textes d'économie politique autrefois enflammés qui traitaient du cas de Manchester, cet article affirme qu'une bonne gouvernance, alliée à un peu de chance, a pu étayer une renaissance, inégale mais solide, de cette région métropolitaine à partir de la fin des années 1980 et tout au long de la période d'essor économique qui a précédé la crise financière. Après avoir présenté les arguments à l'appui de cette affirmation, il s'intéresse à la mesure dans laquelle Manchester et sa région métropolitaine ont su résister à la récession, mais risquent d'être affectées par les répercussions des tentatives du gouvernement britannique cherchant à gérer la deuxième phase de la crise au moyen de coupes sombres dans les dépenses publiques et d'un réalignement fondamental de l'action publique. La conclusion étudie si, dans un contexte économique et politique totalement différent, les dispositifs uniques de gouvernance de Manchester qui s'instauraient à l'échelon de la région métropolitaine sont susceptibles de perdurer, de se disloquer ou de se reconfigurer
