The Political Economy of English Rural Housing.This book shows how governance regimes before the 1970s suppressed rural prospects of housing improvement and created conditions for middle-class capture. Using original archival sources to reveal the intricacies of local and national policy processes, weak rural housing performances are shown to owe more to national governance regimes than local under-performance. Looking `behind the scenes' at policy processes highlights neglected principles in national governance, and shows how investigating rural housing is fundamental to understanding the national scene. With original insights and a new analytical perspective, this volume offers evidence and conclusions that challenge mainstream assumptions in public policy, housing, rural studies and planning.Local and Urban Governance,2524-5457Political planningHuman geographyPolitical sciencePropertyCommon lawGreat BritainHistoryPublic PolicyHuman GeographyGovernance and GovernmentCommon Property and Land LawHistory of Britain and IrelandPolitical planning.Human geography.Political science.Property.Common law.Great BritainHistory.Public Policy.Human Geography.Governance and Government.Common Property and Land Law.History of Britain and Ireland.301.54363.50941091734Hoggart Keith89657MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484379403321A contrived countryside1905527UNINA
