Reviews

In the context of economic crisis and state austerity, this collection makes a telling contribution to our understanding of the potential and pitfalls of local institutional agency. Drawing together the work of key voices, the international reach and practical engagement here will prove of enduring value for policy learning and collective action. - Andy Pike, Newcastle University, UK The recent UK recession was not only severe but different to any of the others of the past few decades and as such merits detailed analysis of its causes, symptoms and remedies. This book is therefore a timely contribution to the debate about what interventions are merited to support local economies, demonstrating just how effective certain interventions can be. - Keith Burge, Institute of Economic Development, UK
