Book review: the UK regional-national economic problem: geography, globalisation and governance by Philip McCann

In The UK Regional-National Economic Problem: Geography, Globalisation and Governance , Philip McCann analyses growing economic disparity across the UK regions, including the North-South divide, challenging many of the key assumptions that have shaped understandings of the UK’s ‘regional problem’. While a dense read, this is a convincing challenge to the dominant orthodoxy on regional development in the UK that John Tomaney hopes will generate wider debate.
