Overview

Incorporating the results of a census, this is an exploration of the extent to which the UK is - or isn't - a united country, through an examination of contemporary economic, social and political geographies. The book is divided into three sections. The first discusses contemporary developments in the geographies of production, money and labour. This is followed by analyses of key social divides in contemporary Britain, and discussion of the geographies of the welfare state. The third section considers contemporary political geographies: place and politics; geographies of sub-national governance; and managing uneven development. A concluding chapter looks at competing visions of the future of the UK.
