It argues furthermore that a political economy of place is required to more fully understand the pursuit of economic development in the North by both local and national elites. The chapter distills the key lessons we can infer from the book, including the multiple and long-standing nature of development dilemmas in the North, the problematic framing of the North in national debates, the dysfunctional nature of economic governance in the North (and the messy relationship between devolution and existing institutional structures) and the damaging impact of tax reform on Northern cities and regions. The chapter ends by outlining a set of policy reforms designed to place Northern economic development on a more sustainable, progressive and democratic path, focusing on changes at the centre, and in centre–local relations, as well as at the local level.Item Metadata only Between rhetoric and reality: does the 2001 White Paper reverse the centralising trend in Britain(Frank Cass, 2002) Lowndes, VivienItem Metadata only Between rhetoric and reality: truth and the Republican oratory of Condoleezza Rice(Palgrave Macmillan, 2017) Harrington, ClodaghThis chapter focuses, through the Aristotelian lens, on the rhetorcial capacity and impact of Condoleezza Rice.

It has even been suggested that Britain is an ‘allergic European’ (Aspinwall, 2004). Such views have been shaped by Britain’s unwillingness to participate in the initial steps towards European integration in the 1950s and its inability to offer wholehearted commitment to the European project since its accession in 1973. A review of British ‘awkwardness’ since 1973 includes the 1974 renegotiation of terms of membership, the 1975 referendum on the renegotiated terms, the debate over the budget contributions that was eventually settled at the 1984 Fontainebleau European Council, hostility towards the development of a European social policy and Economic and Monetary Union, the 1996 policy of non-cooperation over the ban on British beef, and the inability of the Labour government led by Tony Blair to fully endorse the single currency. A direct implication of these developments is that Britain has often been perceived to be on the sidelines of key policy developments at the European level. This chapter explores a particular dimension of Britain’s European policy by focusing on government behaviour in the intergovernmental conference (IGC) negotiations that have resulted in the Single European Act (SEA), Treaty on European Union, Treaty of Amsterdam, Treaty of Nice, and finally the Constitutional Treaty. The chapter argues that despite the hesitancy of British governments to offer a wholehearted commitment to European integration, Britain has achieved considerable success in obtaining satisfactory outcomes in IGC negotiations. In taking this approach, the chapter emphasises Britain’s unique position within the EU and focuses on the extent to which it can be considered ‘a laggard leader.’Item Metadata only Brown’s community politics: developments in local government(Palgrave, 2007) Leach, SteveItem Metadata only Building on-line communities for teachers: Ideas emerging from research(Routledge, 2001) Younie, Sarah; Leask, MarilynItem Metadata only Business, Human Rights and Corporate Social Responsibility in a Global Financial Crisis: The Global Challenge of Embedding Human Rights in Organizations and Human Resource Management Practices(LAMBERT ACADEMIC PUBLISHING, 2013-02-02) Ejiogu, ChibuzoThe relationship between business and human rights is important and complex. The social responsibility of business is evolving as Multinational Corporations become more pervasive and powerful; their global footprint can be a force for good or can have a negative impact on human rights. This chapter looks at the relationship between business, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and human rights in the context of the global financial crisis. The extent to which private corporations are expected to respect human rights, including socio-economic rights, is discussed. The balance between business profitability protected by commercial rights such as under the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the need to protect fundamental human rights is explored. The requirements for an effective international framework for business and human rights are analyzed with an emphasis on the Protect, Respect, Remedy Framework of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the core labor standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Recommendations are made regarding the means to effectively embed the respect for, and promotion of, human rights across all aspects of an organization and its value chain.Item Embargo Can Volunteering on ‘Real World’ Issues Influence Political Engagement among Young People? A UK case study(American Political Science Association, 2021-07-26) Blair, Alasdair; Charlton, MarkPolitical engagement among young people has been lower than other voting groups for several decades. In the United Kingdom, since 2010, the 18 - 24 age group has received considerable scrutiny in the wake of major political decisions and election outcomes. In light of low political engagement among young people, the government’s Electoral Commission has encouraged universities to seek new ways to encourage more young people to vote. Volunteering, which is offered in some form by most UK universities, is recognized through various studies as a way of building social capital and creating civic engagement. This research presents a case study of whether a program of focused volunteering for university students can better enhance participants’ political awareness by exposing them to people directly affected by political policies, in this case refugees and migrant communities.
