This book begins by looking at the potential impacts of downturns and economic shocks on firms, workers, communities and places, both in the short and long term (Part I). Part II then looks at interventions and responses that local authorities can put in place on their own or in partnership with other local, regional and/or national actors to try to deal with these differential impacts. Building on these insights, part III offers international perspectives, outlining the role of local authorities during the recession in France, Canada and Australia. These examples and cases highlight some key variations in the availability of resources at the local level across countries and shed light on the way particular economic situations and governance contexts influence local authorities' responses. This section also includes work by the OECD LEED Programme which surveys cities worldwide and which looks at the application of the 'Barcelona Principles'.
Overall, the volume makes a fresh contribution to understanding local economic development and governance by providing a unique perspective and original data on the way local authorities have dealt with the recent economic shock across countries. Looking ahead, the book also raises some important issues in relation to local and regional governance and policies to foster long term, sustainable economic recovery. This edited volume will be accessible to and suitable for students and researchers studying economic change, the recession, planning, public policy and industrial policy interventions, and political science.
Reviews / Votes
"In the context of economic crisis and state austerity, this collection makes a telling contribution to our understanding of the potential and pitfalls of local institutional agency. Drawing together the work of key voices, the international reach and practical engagement here will prove of enduring value for policy learning and collective action".- Andy Pike, Professor of Local and Regional Development, Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS), Newcastle University, UK.
"The recent UK recession was not only severe but different to any of the others of the past few decades and as such merits detailed analysis of its causes, symptoms and remedies. This book is therefore a timely contribution to the debate about what interventions are merited to support local economies, demonstrating just how effective certain interventions can be."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
