本文分析了负责吸引和留住外国直接投资的次国家机构行为者，其他“治理”行为者在区域商业系统-地方和次区域政府，集群/部门机构，RDA和LEP高管，以及那些参与协调技能提供-和外资跨国公司的子公司之间的关系。它基于2008年至2011年在英格兰两个地区进行的定性研究。在全球生产网络内投资的国际竞争的背景下，它探讨了最近的政治驱动的次国家治理的变化，包括废除区域发展机构，以及英格兰经济发展和技能协调的长期不稳定性。分析的重点是一个论点，即更充分地了解国家以下一级的经济治理，需要积极整合的角度对政治制度的治理，并嵌入模式的经济协调，在各种资本主义文献分析。
This paper analyses relations between sub-national institutional actors responsible for the attraction and retention of foreign direct investment, other ‘governance’ actors in regional business systems – local and sub-regional government, cluster/sectoral bodies, RDA and LEP executives, and those involved in the coordination of skills provision – and subsidiaries of foreign-owned multinational corporations. It is based on qualitative research in two regions of England conducted between 2008 and 2011. Within a context of international competition for investment within global production networks, it explores recent politically driven changes in sub-national governance, including the abolition of Regional Development Agencies, alongside the more long-standing instability of economic development and skills coordination in England. The analysis is centred on an argument that a more adequate understanding of sub-national economic governance requires the active integration of perspectives on political systems of governance, and embedded patterns of economic coordination, as analysed in the varieties of capitalism literature.
