- The book explores the development of localism as a new mode of statecraft. Drawing on original funded research, it highlights the importance of civic infrastructure and capacity in facilitating citizen engagement in local decision making. It considers the development of community organising, neighbourhood planning and community councils that nurture the energies, talents and creativity of the population. Combining political geographies, political theory and practice, the book positions policy development in relation to the geo-history of the British state. It highlights the challenges of the state devolving itself and the importance of citizens having freedom, incentives and institutions needed to act.
