This title was first published in 2000. Since New Labour were elected in 1997, there have been substantial changes made to local and regional economic development policy in the UK. This volume offers an up-to-date overview, setting the new policies within a wider historic context and suggesting future developments. It examines four of these new policies in depth - Regional Development Agencies, New Deal local partnerships, Local Learning and Skills Councils, and the Small Business Service and Business link.

It's findings are topical and highly relevant for those studying economic development policy under the New Labour regime...recommended to those with an interest in this field...The authors' assertive and provocative style of writing encourages the reader to engage with some of the key debates on economic governance and the Labour government's record, in a direct and active way...' Urban Studies ’The book is relevant for those working in the field of local and regional economic development, who are interested in analysing the importance of di
