Post-Brexit regional policy in England: exploring ‘Levelling Up’ in practice
评估了英国‘升级’政策，指出其混合了边缘与熟悉政策，并在空间焦点和治理方式上有所创新，对面临类似挑战的欧美国家也有参考价值。
‘Levelling Up’ has come to dominate debates around regional inequality in England, but has been criticized for lacking clarity and definition. This paper addresses this critique by providing an early assessment of the concept. It summarizes and critically reviews Levelling Up, arguing that the concept offers a mix of marginal and familiar policies, alongside aspirations for industrial policy and research and development. Furthermore, Levelling Up begins to diverge from recent policy in its spatial focus and approach to governance and devolution. As governments in Europe and the United States grapple with similar challenges, the paper has value beyond a UK audience.
