Description
After years of focusing on depressed regions, academic and policy interest in the UK is turning to the growing South East. The region provides an apportunity to study both the functioning of a prime example of a core economic region and the detailed causes and consequences of its growth. This work attempts to provide an insight into some of these issues: for example, the nature of labour market changes, in both public and private sectors; the role of changing housing and land markets and the effects of the single European market and the Channel Tunnel.
