Once New Labour came to power in 1997, they sought a third way between the new right agenda of Thatcherism with its attempts to reduce the role of the local state and foster a free market and the lefts attempts to take more control over the local economy in the interest of workers. In July 2007, Gordon Browns government published the 'Review of Sub-national Economic Development and Regeneration'.This book argues that competitiveness and neo-liberalism, or increased market domination over an ever wider range of social relations, have in reality dominated New Labours policies. Yet a number of contradictions remain as New Labour continues to seek a reduction in poverty and regional and local disparities. The book analyses the changes that will result from further market domination under the Sub-national Review but also the opportunities that will arise for local economic development agents, particularly those with a concern for social justice. It looks specifically at regional and sub-regional strategy making; partnership, networking and building institutional capacity; local labour market policy and policy towards cities. An additional feature of the book is that several authors draw on international comparisons.This book was published as a special issue of Local Economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930868613408,"sku":"NEW0415551269","price":192.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-future-of-local-economic-development-0415551269","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
