Rethinking the Region: Spaces of Neo-Liberalism by John Allen (9780415168212)

Description - Rethinking the Region: Spaces of Neo-Liberalism by John Allen

Rethinking the Region argues that regions are not simply bounded spaces on a map. This book draws on 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 re-constructed this area as a 'neo-liberal region'. Arguing that a more balanced form of growth is possible - within and between regions as well as between social groups, the authors explain that to grasp the complexities of growth we must re-think 'the region' in time as well as in space.
