West England University Informationen zum Autor John Allen, Doreen Massey and Allan Cochrane all work in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Open University. with Julie Charlesworth, Gill Court, Nick Henry and Phil Sarre Klappentext Rethinking the Region argues that regions are not simply bounded spaces on a map. This book uses unique research of England during the 1980s to show how regions are made and unmade by social processes. The book examines how new lines of division both social and geographical were laid down as free-market growth and reconstructed this are as a `neo-liberal' region. The authors argue that a more balanced form of growth is possible - within and between regions as well as between social groups. This book shows that to grasp the complexities of growth we must rethink `the region' in time as well as in space. Zusammenfassung Combines the benefits of local detailed area study (South East England in the 1980s) with a broader analysis of issues of place identity and political critique.
