This monograph, the second in a series on the future of the English regions, takes forward our work on regional policy by looking at regionalism from the viewpoint of the region itself, rather than from a national policy perspective. By so doing we hope to promote greater awareness of the complexities of, distinct opportunities for, and challenges facing each region, not least among key stakeholders, opinion formers and decision makers inside and outside the region. Our intention is to raise the level of debate about the future of the North East, and to highlight what policy changes – locally, regionally, subregionally and nationally – are needed to make a real and lasting difference.
