Biography
David Counsell, Graham Haughton
'Very well written and clearly laid out. It covers a wide range of material and provides the reader with a significant depth of information and knowledge ... just about every relevant government document and statement has been identified and analyzed here and this will make it a key text for researchers, students abd practitioners working on issues such as regional development, spatial policy, state theory and regional politics.' - Mike Raco, Urban Studies, 2005
'Overall, this is well crafted and energetically written book. It covers a complex set of policy and academic debates in a manner that is both readable and enlightening. It should be core reading for researchers and higher-level undergraduate and postgraduate students. I strongly recommend it for those with an interest in the discourses and practices of sustainable development and regional policy in the UK.' - Urban Studies
'The best summary to date of the transformation of regional planning in England during the period 1998 to 2003.' - Tim Marshall, Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, March 2005
