England - John Tomaney

The debate about the English regions is rising up the academic and political agenda. Despite this interest, there has been no overview of the institutional and political dynamics across the regions. This authoritative book brings together the country's leading experts to fill that gap. It: examines the background to the English Question;outlines factors leading to regionalisation in England;presents a new and up-to-date region by region analysis of social, economic and political conditions;considers the arguments for regional government. Policy makers, practitioners, academics, students, journalists and others with an interest in the
governance of the English regions will find this book an indispensable resource.
