DEVELOPING ENGLANDS NORTH GEBUNDEN

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.
