This book explores the politics of local economic development in
Northern England. Socio-economic conditions in the North - and its
future prospects - have become central to national debates in the
UK. The status of Northern regions and their local economies is
intimately associated with efforts to 'rebalance' the economy away
from the South East, London and the finance sector in the wake of
the 2008 financial crisis. The contributors to this volume focus in
particular on the coalition and Conservative governments' 'Northern
Powerhouse' agenda. They also analyse associated efforts to devolve
power to local authorities across England, which promise to bring
both greater prosperity and autonomy to the deindustrialized North.
Several chapters critically interrogate these initiatives, and
their ambitions, by placing them within their wider historical,
geographical, institutional and ideological contexts. As such,
Berry and Giovannini seek to locate Northern England within a
broader understanding of the political dimension of economic
development, and outline a series of ideas for enhancing the
North's prospects.
