Abstract

The UK Coalition Government’s commitment to ‘localism’ in Planning is in marked contrast to the emphasis on cross-boundary strategic planning initiatives under the previous Labour Government. Against this background the paper examines the implications of evolving economic governance arrangements in three sub-regional ‘soft-spaces’ in England’s South-East region. A distinctive evaluative frame derives a set of criteria for ‘good economic governance’ as perceived by the stakeholders concerned, and a judgement regarding the ‘quality’ of economic governance in each case is presented. The conclusion triangulates these results against economic growth outcomes across the respective sub-regions.
