What is it about?

This is an edited book by Professors Joyce Liddle and John Shutt with contributions across a range of themes and governance looking at one of the most disadvantaged regions in the united Kingdom. With a reliance on public sector services, the North east is set to be one of the hardest hit areas after Britain's likely exit from the European Union.

Why is it important?

THe North East is a key partner in the Northern Powerhouse involving three Northern regions and an initiative designed to rebalance and level up the northern economy in the UK and bridge the chasm between the North and South of England. This important text is set within the context of the Northern Powerhouse, a highly complex and challenging concept that demands the development of new partnerships across the Northern regions, and the need for collaborative working across the city- regions of the North. After Covid 19 this is a greater challenge but now Brexit is also looming.

Perspectives

With a focus on Brexit and Austerity as key drivers of change, this invaluable text contributes to debates surrounding employment changes and policy directions in a post-Brexit world. An essential read for policy-makers,government researchers and international scholars.
