The UK Regional-National Economic Problem (eBook, ePUB)

Geography, globalisation and governance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The highly centralised, top down governance structure that the UK deploys is less than ideally placed to rectify the widespread inequalities that characterise its regions. In a landmark analysis of the current state of Britain's regional development, Philip McCann utilises current statistics, examines historical trends and makes pertinent international comparisons to assess the state of the nation.
