自2010年执政以来，一种独特的地方主义语法弥漫在英国联合政府的哲学观中，影响了地方主义政策的话语和实践。这篇文章，写在2012年6月，认为这一新的语法的范围，组织和动员经济发展干预措施的影响，通过集中在2011年地方主义法案，适用于英格兰和威尔士。通过地方主义的概念棱镜来解释这些变化，有助于理解各种地方主义，通过揭露中央政府的控制倾向，提出了一些对地方主义的严重关切。分析还针对集中权力、有条件的权力下放和分散的地方主义之间的不稳定关系。然而，涌现的实践有助于证明如何“受约束的自由”可以进行谈判，以采取创新行动。最后，它提出了一些基本要素，将支持“授权地方”的概念，可能会确保政府的当务之急，使私营部门主导的增长。
Since entering office in 2010, a distinct grammar of localism has pervaded the UK Coalition Government’s philosophical outlook inflecting localist policy discourses and practice. This article, written in June 2012, considers the implications of this new grammar for the scope, organisation and mobilisation of economic development interventions, through a focus on the 2011 Localism Act, which applies to England and Wales. Interpreting these changes through a localist conceptual prism, which helps to refract varieties of localism, it raises some serious concerns regarding localism in action through exposing the controlling tendencies of central government. Analysis is also directed towards the uneasy relationship between centralised powers, conditional decentralisation and fragmented localism. Nevertheless, emergent practice serves to demonstrate how ‘constrained freedoms’ can be negotiated to undertake innovative actions. It concludes by suggesting some foundational elements that would support the notion of ‘empowered localities’ that may secure the government’s imperative to enable private sector-led growth.
