Locating Localism

Abstract

Locating localism explores the development of localism as a new mode of statecraft and its implications for the practice of citizenship in England. The book takes the long view of this new policy development, positioning it in relation to the political geo-history of the British state. It highlights the challenges of the state devolving itself and the importance of citizens having the incentives and institutions needed to act. Drawing on original research into community organising, neighbourhood planning and the organisation of local government, the book highlights the importance of citizens having the civic infrastructure they need to engage in decision making on their own terms.
