England: The state of the regions

It provides the first up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the state of regionalism in England. Charting the regionalisation of England that has occurred over recent years, the book: examines the background to the 'English Question'; outlines factors leading to regionalisation in England; presents a new region by region analysis of the social, economic and political conditions; considers the arguments for regional government. Policy makers, practitioners, academics, students, journalists and others who need to understand and keep up to date with the development of governance of the English regions will find this book to be an indispensable resource.
