基于过去十年“英国领域”的见解，我简要回顾了新工党的经济政策架构，以此来假设其在现任自由民主党-保守党（Lib-Con）联合政府领导下的重新配置。我特别反思了我在国家、区域和地方空间尺度上制定空间政策、经济战略和复兴计划的时间，以考虑从新工党区域主义方法（以区域发展机构为代表）到自由党所谓的地方主义方法（体现在拟议的地方企业伙伴关系中）的过渡。最后，我表达了一些个人的担忧，即拆除现有的区域经济架构无异于将婴儿和洗澡水一起倒掉。除此之外，我认为，在急于建立地方企业合作伙伴关系的过程中，联合政府可能面临重新发明轮子的危险。
Based on insights ‘in the English field’ over the past decade, I take a brief look back at New Labour’s economic policy architecture as a means to postulate on its reconfiguration under the incumbent Liberal Democrat-Conservative (Lib-Con) Coalition Government. In particular, I reflect on my time devising spatial policy, economic strategies and regeneration programmes at national, regional and local spatial scales, to consider the transition from a New Labour regionalist approach (epitomised by Regional Development Agencies) to a Lib-Con purported localism approach (embodied in the proposed Local Enterprise Partnerships). I conclude by expressing some personal concerns that the dismantling of existing regional economic architecture is akin to throwing the baby out with the bath-water. Alongside this, I contend that in the haste to set-up Local Enterprise Partnerships, the Coalition Government may be in danger of reinventing the wheel.
