Abstract

North D. and Syrett S. Making the links: economic deprivation, neighbourhood renewel and scales of governance, Regional Studies. A policy focus of the New Labour Government in the UK has been upon attempts to tackle problems of concentrations of deprivation at the neighbourhood scale. This paper presents evidence from five local authority districts to consider how issues of scale matter in seeking to address such problems and the institutional arrangements and policies currently in place to improve their economic prospects. The results demonstrate that for economic deprivation to be tackled more effectively requires both a clearer specification of the rationale for the kind of intervention needed and improved integration and coordination of strategies and actions across spatial scales.

Au Royaume-Uni, le gouvernement New Labour a mis l'accent sur des actions destinees a repondre aux problemes de la concentration des privations au niveau du quartier. Cet article cherche a fournir des preuves provenant de cinq circonscriptions administratives locales afin de considerer l'importance de la notion de niveau pour aborder de tels problemes, et les demarches et les politiques institutionnelles en vigueur pour ameliorer leurs perspectives economiques. Les resultats montrent que la maitrise efficace des privations economiques necessite a la fois une articulation plus claire de la raison d'etre du type d'intervention necessaire et une integration et une coordination ameliorees des strategies et des actions a tous les niveaux geographiques.

Herstellen der Verknupfungen: wirtschaftliche Benachteiligung, Sanierung von Wohngebieten und Massstabe der Regierungsarbeit, Regional Studies 41, 1-16. Einer der politischen Schwerpunkte der Labour-Regierung Grossbritanniens war der Versuch, die Probleme der Konzentration sozialer Benachteiligung auf der Ebene der Wohngegenden zu losen. In diesem Aufsatz werden Belege von funf Kommunen vorgestellt, um zu untersuchen, welche Rolle Fragen des Massstabs bei der Losung solcher Probleme spielen und welche institutionellen Vorkehrungen und Politiken derzeit zur Verbesserung der wirtschaftlichen Chancen dieser Kommunen vorhanden sind. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass fur eine effizientere Bekampfung wirtschaftlicher Benachteiligung eine klarere Spezifikation der Grunde fur die Art der benotigten Intervention sowie eine verbesserte Integration und Koordination der Strategien und Massnahmen fur die verschiedenen raumlichen Massstabe erforderlich sind.

Atando cabos: marginacion economica, renovacion en los barrios y escalas de gobernanza, Regional Studies 41, 1-16. El Gobierno laborista britanico ha intentado solucionar con una politica que la marginacion se concentre en determinados barrios. En este articulo presentamos ejemplos de cinco comarcas locales para analizar la importancia de las cuestiones de escala en solucionar estos problemas y averiguar cuales han sido los acuerdos institucionales y las politicas actualmente en practica para mejorar las perspectivas economicas. Los resultados indican que para abordar con mas eficacia las penurias economicas es necesaria una especificacion mas clara de las razones para este tipo de intervencion y mejorar la integracion y coordinacion de las estrategias y medidas a todas las escalas espaciales.
