The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The need to give strategic direction to complex regional systems has never been greater, but reinstating a classic strategic plan model which failed to secure consistently positive impacts, or even sustain its own practice is a mistaken route. With a mix of conceptual analysis, critical review of past experience, and an examination of population dynamics across England’s Wider South East and its fringes this paper argues for a decentred form of strategic governance based on the development of a capacity for negotiated collaboration and realistic engagement with powerful market and institutional processes on a sustained basis.
