The Changing Pattern of Employment - Regional Specialisation and Industrial Localisation in Britain (Paperback): Michael... The Changing Pattern of Employment - Regional Specialisation and Industrial Localisation in Britain (Paperback)
Michael Chisholm, Jim Oeppen
R1,257 Discovery Miles 12 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This title, first published in 1973, covers the period of 1959 to 1968. The study suggests that government policies had very little effect on the employment structures of the sub-regions at this time, despite government intervention and policy objectives in Great Britain to reduce levels of unemployment in the depressed regions and curb congestion in the Midland and South East England conurbations. Instead, regional employment structures seemed to be determined by what was happening to industries at a national level. This study will be of interest to economists, planners, regional scientists and geographers, as well as students in these fields.

Regions in Recession and Resurgence (Hardcover): Michael Chisholm Regions in Recession and Resurgence (Hardcover)
Michael Chisholm
R4,479 Discovery Miles 44 790 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The world economy has undergone rapid evolution in recent decades, along with changes in the importance of industries and their organization, and sharp changes in the fortunes of regions. There are differences of opinion regarding the mainsprings of change and development and the role of goverments in fostering national output. In order to show the relvance of these changes to regional economies, the book focuses on the different schools of economic thought - from the neo-classical, through Keynesian to Marxist/radical ideas and monetarist/supply-side thinking - providing a brief description of their structure in non-spatial terms. The way these theories map into contrasting ideas regarding the mechanisms of regional economic growth is then explained. The book concentrates on developed economies and explicitly seeks to confront theory with fact, fact with theory. Bringing together non-spatial economic thery, regional growth theory and relevant empirical data, this book is intended for students in geography and regional economics but will also be of interest for those studying politics and government.

Modern World Development - A Geographical Perspective (Hardcover): Michael Chisholm Modern World Development - A Geographical Perspective (Hardcover)
Michael Chisholm
R4,778 Discovery Miles 47 780 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Since the time of Adam Smith, there has been a voluminous literature concerned with the differing wealth of nations and the variation in the nature of economic growth, and several schools of thought have held precedence at different times. The fundamental mechanisms have been regarded by some as capital accumulation and investment, and by others as entrepreneurial ability. Modern World Development, first published in 1982, shows that the length of time under consideration materially affects the relative significance assigned to the factors involved; similarly, the size of an area cannot be ignored. Through an examination of the major theories of economic growth, the role of natural resources, the core-periphery model of world development, environmental change and the concept of 'human capital', Professor Chisholm has written a stimulating and important book which will appeal to students of economics, history and geography.

Structural Reform of British Local Government - Rhetoric and Reality (Paperback): Michael Chisholm Structural Reform of British Local Government - Rhetoric and Reality (Paperback)
Michael Chisholm
R917 Discovery Miles 9 170 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

During the 1990s, the structure of local government in Scotland and Wales was completely reorganised by Acts of Parliament. Under other legislation, and in response to recommendations from the Local Government Commission, there was a partial reorganisation in shire England. This is the only study which examines these reforms in one volume. Running through this study is the contrast between the rhetoric used to justify replacing counties and districts by new unitary authorities and the realities of local government. The book reviews the reasons for the reforms, the processes and outcomes in the three countries, and the nature of the evidence which was available for the advantages and disadvantages of reorganisation. Two chapters compare the prior assessments with the actuality, and the final chapter discusses some important lessons for national governance. This is the only study written by someone who was directly involved in the structural review, as a member of the Local Government Commission, and it combines this special experience with a wealth of information from many sources. The book will be a key text for teachers and students of local government and also important for those studying public administration, government and politics at the second or third year undergraduate level. There should also be a wide readership in local government circles and among MPs and those concerned with public life. -- .

Freight Flows and Spatial Aspects of the British Economy (Paperback): Michael Chisholm, Patrick O'Sullivan Freight Flows and Spatial Aspects of the British Economy (Paperback)
Michael Chisholm, Patrick O'Sullivan
R989 Discovery Miles 9 890 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Originally published in 1973, this book reports experiments in the modelling of freight flows in Great Britain, on the basis of 78 origin-destination zones covering the entire country. Its central purpose is to establish whether gravity model or linear programming approaches provide the most appropriate way of describing the existing spatial distribution of freight volumes and hence of predicting future flows, given possible allocations of population. Linear programming appears to be the msot useful way to approach freight modelling on this scale. The model outputs allow the authors to probe the problem of regional comparative advantage in terms of the volume of transport inputs. Although there is some association with the accessibility of regions, it is not true that the peripheral areas are at a serious disadvantage. Furthermore, evidence on the structure of transport costs indicates that movement costs are a surprisingly low proportion of total transport costs - thus further reducing the effects of location. The study concludes with a review of the lines along which work might proceed.

Spatial Policy Problems of the British Economy (Paperback): Michael Chisholm, Gerald Manners Spatial Policy Problems of the British Economy (Paperback)
Michael Chisholm, Gerald Manners
R1,030 Discovery Miles 10 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Interest in the geography of economic and social change has grown in Britain over recent years as people have become more aware of regional imbalances and as government influence on the evolution of the country's spatial systems has increased. The processes of spatial allocation are becoming better understood as new techniques of analysis are developed. But weaknesses and inconsistencies in public policies remain and have attracted the attention of workers in various disciplines, particularly geographers. This awareness is reflected in these essays, most of which deal with economic rather than the social problems. They demonstrate the wide range of issues on which geographers can make a relevant contribution.
