'This book is a remarkable and often inspirational tour de force.
Martin Jones confidently moves between theories of political
economy and stories of regional and urban policy, using each to
inform the other. He brings the uneven geographies of England to
life, showing how they are reproduced in practice, while also
offering the prospect of alternative futures.' - Allan Cochrane,
The Open University, UK Offering a geographical political economy
analysis, this book explores the mechanisms, institutions, and
spaces of subnational economic development. Martin Jones
innovatively examines how policy-makers frame problems and offer
intervention solutions in different cities and regions. Drawing on
different approaches to state intervention, neoliberalism, crisis
and contradiction theories, and notions of depoliticisation, this
book explains policy failure and how it is impacted by flux
surrounding economic development. With constant changes to
legislation, institutional initiatives, and ministerial
responsibility, local and regional economic development is shown to
be at a critical crossroads. Theoretically innovative and
empirically focused, this timely book is a must-read for
researchers and policy-makers of urban geography, regional
development, political economy and public policy.
