3 Regional institutions and economic development Growth Factors Infrastructure Human capital Labour market Innovation Agglomeration and connectivity Productivity Source: OECD (2012) Promoting Growth in All Regions
4 Regional institutions and economic development Institutional factors are also critical. Formal and informal institutions that facilitate negotiation and dialogue among key actors in order to mobilise and integrate them into the development process are vital, as are those that enhance policy continuity. At times, the challenge is to create institutions that strengthen the region s voice in dealing with other regions and countries and those that foster linkages among the private, public and education sectors.

Estimates of regional GVA are on a workplace basis, where the income of commuters is allocated to their place of work. 2. Following Crafts (2005a) London and the Rest of the South East were combined into one observation for the purposes of calculating the coefficient of variance. 3. The Coefficient of Variation is a measure of dispersion calculated as: Standard Deviation/Mean.

14 New Labour and regionalism New Labour government ( ) Context: widening regional inequalities Commitment to regional planning Regional Policy Commission: influenced by Scottish and European experiences Key advocate: John Prescott, Deputy Prime Minister New regional policy : Ed Balls Means of achieving national economic objectives (Regional government)
15 New Labour and regionalism Haughton and Allmedinger: Spatial planning became the dominant planning doctrine during the New Labour years. Presented as a progressive, proactive approach and contrasted with the more reactive land use planning, the spatial oeuvre promised inclusive processes and win-win-win outcomes around sustainable development, economic growth and social justice. In England, spatial planning was strongly linked with the 2004 reforms to development planning, including the reintroduction of a regional tier of planning and the reorientation and expansion of national planning policy. Through multi-scalar and sectoral coordination and integration, spatial planning was envisaged by some as a form of meta-spatial governance or, in more prosaic terms, concerned with place-making.

21 New Labour and regionalism
22 Towards Localism? we both want to build a new economy from the rubble of the old. We will support sustainable growth and enterprise, balanced across all regions and all industries (David Cameron, Prime Minister, and Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister, Foreword, in Cabinet Office (2010: 7) The Coalition: Our Programme for Government, Cabinet Office: London).
23 Towards Localism? Localism RDAs: bureaucratic, inefficient, failed to close regional inequalities Centrally imposed performance targets Central control of local budgets Failure to deliver sufficient housing Did not match real economic boundaries Lacked democratic accountability Source: Conservative Party (2009) Control Shift Returning Power to Local Communities
24 Towards Localism? Whitehall targets and unelected quangos will be scrapped, to be replaced with a democratic system for national infrastructure and incentives to promote local homes and jobs. Labour's planning system "bad for democracy, bad for the environment and bad for business" "Too many decisions taken by unelected quangos, there is too much unnecessary red tape and there are no incentives for local residents to back sustainable development. We will put local communities in the driving seat." Conservative Party (2010) Open Source Planning. Policy Green Paper, No 13
25 Towards Localism? If you want to rebuild a fragile national economy you don t strangle business with red tape and let bloated regional quangos make all the decisions. Urgent action is needed to rebuild and rebalance local economies The solution needs to be local By giving up central control we will put democratic accountability back into the local economy making it responsive to the needs of local business and local people (Eric Pickles quoted in BIS Press Notice, 29 June 2010, BIS: London).

31 City Mayors Elected mayors can provide the strong, visible leadership to help our cities to prosper, attracting investment and jobs from home and abroad. Our greatest cities can benefit from the prestige and international standing a mayor can bring, helping them to achieve their full potential. For Britain to be successful our cities need to be successful. An elected mayor with a strong voice can seize the opportunities for their city to compete on the world stage Source: Greg Clark, Cities Minister, Mayoral election date confirmed, Press Release, 9 February 2012, Department for Communities and Local Government
32 City Deals The battle for economic growth - for Britain's future, will be won or lost in our cities The key to unlocking that potential is a new deal for cities. Giving cities the powers, control over resources, and funding they need to fire on all cylinders and attract the private sector investment needed to rebalance the economy. But this revival will depend on all of Britain's cities, not just the few I am inviting more cities to consider the vision they have for their community and the deal they need to make it happen. We are turning the established order on its head and cities must come to Whitehall not as supplicants, as in the past, but as equal participants in an open and constructive deal making process Source: Greg Clark, Cities Minister, City deals to be widened across England, Press Release, 23 January 2012, Department for Communities and Local Government

34 Regional Growth Fund 2.6 billion fund operating across England from 2011 to 2016 Competitive fund Minimum bid threshold of 1 million
35 Whilst important, we question whether the Regional Growth Fund will provide a large enough incentive to access to funds to make a material difference and whether local authorities and the newly created Local Enterprise Partnerships will have the resources, fiscal powers and capacity to mitigate the impact of cuts and promote growth locally (PricewaterhouseCoopers (2010a: 4) Sectoral and Regional Impact of the Fiscal Squeeze, PwC: London).

37 Conflict, contradiction, confusion, instability House of Commons Committee The Government must ensure that the beneficial and positive aspects of RSSs, in particular for integrating infrastructure, economic development, housing, data collection and environment protection, are not swept away, but are retained in any new planning framework.. The peremptory abolition of Regional Spatial Strategies has created a hiatus in the planning framework, which risks producing a damaging inertia Source: House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee (2011) Abolition of Regional Spatial Strategies: a planning vacuum. Second Report of Session HC 517, pp55
38 Conflict, contradiction, confusion, instability Heseltine: the disbanding of regional development agencies also broke up the regional teams that gave Whitehall an overview in a locality. Instead, each government department has recreated its individual empire in the regions. 1 House of Commons Communities and Local Government Select Committee: Continual reorganisation of the public bodies charged with helping to spark regeneration across the regions is likely to limit the ability of the retained and new organisations to keep that stored knowledge and experience over time M. Heseltine: We ll only mend society from the bottom up. The Times, 23 Aug Regeneration. HC Sixth Report of Session House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee,
39 Conflict, contradiction, confusion, instability Heseltine Review Wide-ranging review of growth policy Problems: Drift to centralism, lack of devolution, complexity of local government system Solutions: single funding pot, LEPs long-term strategy/capacity building/functional economic area, Local Growth Teams, single tier local government, elected Mayors
40 Conflict, contradiction, confusion, instability North East England Lack of continuity in governance and policy. The institutional instability in the UK has been particularly problematic for the city region due to a relative lack of bottom up initiatives among its own stakeholders which might have provided stability and policy co-ordination. OECD (2012) Promoting Growth in All Regions, p176
41 Conflict, contradiction, confusion, instability Accumulated and entrenched regional disparities Long history of interventions but no long-term strategies Comparatively weak local and regional institutions characterised by cycles of instability Intermittent and partial role of evidence Regional versus local ideology and scale in English politics

43 Lessons for Ireland? Regional institutions matter Stability and long-term perspectives make a difference in regional planning and economic development Consensus and bottom-up versus partisan and top-down approaches
