What has been the impact of these actions? How effective are the strategies and processes employed by development agencies? How well funded are development efforts in one nation compared to another, and how are their objectives defined?
This book addresses these questions. It:
? explores the impact and functioning of economic development agencies;
? makes a unique contribution to the emerging literature on economic development agencies by reporting on the results of a cross-national survey of economic development practitioners;
? compares the 'institutional architectures' of economic development in Australia, England, the United States and Northern Ireland;
? analyses how these institutional arrangements affect individual agencies and their regions.
This book is intended for a wide audience including economic development practitioners, local government officers, officials within national or state governments and academics. It provides the reader with a greater appreciation of how local and regional economic development systems operate in different economies and aids understanding of what makes the economic development system in each nation unique. It challenges ideas about the uniformity of economic development efforts and encourages practitioners and policy makers to experiment with and explore strategies used elsewhere.
Reviews / Votes
"... worth reading and pointing up to colleagues. It adds interesting material to the evidence base and provides an accessible contribution to the literature on the role of local and regional development organisations within a developed economy setting for undergraduates, postgraduates and local and regional development policy-makers and practitioners. The references at the end of the book provide a useful way into the literature for undergraduates in particular - and, unlike many contemporary texts on local and regional economic development issues, the price of this paperback edition also makes the book affordable." Local Government Studies "... provides fascinating insights into a central perspective on economic change in modern economies. Academics and policy officials would do well to read this book. They will learn much about the way organisations view themselves, and how the circumstances under which they work shape their efforts and responses. Members of organisations will benefit too, as they will learn much from those in the same boat as themselves." Urban Policy and Research "... a much needed comparative analysis of the nature, roles and impacts of development agencies in different advanced capitalist countries. Practitioners and students should gain from both the up-to-date analysis and practical guidance." Mike Berry, School of Social Science and Planning, RMIT University, AustraliaMore details

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.
