Yоur text (Chаpter 4) spends а gооd deаl of time talking about something called ‘the new localism’. Here are a couple of quotes from the text about it: “economic development is now regarded as best planned at a local or regional scale and driven by local business interests; while social problems such as poverty, homelessness, are represented as being embedded in local communities and best tackled by volunteers and non-profit organisations” (p. 67) … “The new localism might therefore be accurately defined as ‘the decentralization of responsibility, but not power, from the national to local level”’ (p. 68). This description of the ‘new localism’ should resonate with you because it is summarized within another term that I provided you during this section of this course. What term ‘encompasses’ this description?
