From Despair to Where? The many faces of Economic Development Policy

The UK was amongst the first European countries to adopt an official regional policy as a means
of reducing disparities in unemployment rates, with the 1934 Special Areas Act. 80 years on regional economic development policy is still in place to address issues of uneven regional incomes and growth. This inaugural lecture will examine the changes that have taken place, and the actors that determine both the policy itself and the implementation of it.
