本文探讨了英国联合政府为实现地方增长和创建地方企业伙伴关系而制定的新框架背后的经济思想。它这样做是因为最近关于“空间中立”和“以地点为基础”的政策制定的争论。虽然英国政府表示，其雄心是在整个英格兰(也就是英国)实现更大的空间和产业平衡，但我们认为，至少到目前为止，地方增长的“言辞”和“政策”及其局限性之间存在不匹配。这些问题与政府内部流通中不同的相互竞争的经济理念在实践中采用的方式不一致有关。因此，这篇论文强调了英格兰此举背后的经济与当地增长的六个关键脱节和限制。
This paper explores the economic thinking behind the UK Coalition government’s new framework for achieving local growth and the creation of Local Enterprise Partnerships in England. It does so in the light of recent debates about ‘space-neutral’ and ‘place-based’ policymaking. While the British government states its ambition to achieve greater spatial and industrial balance across England (and by implication the UK), we argue that so far at least there is a mismatch between the ‘rhetoric’ and ‘policies’ of local growth and its limitations. These relate to inconsistencies in the way that the different competing economic ideas in circulation within government have been adopted in practice. As a result, the paper highlights six key disconnects and limitations of the economics behind the move in England to local growth.
