    Civic engagement in the english regions: Neo-corporatism, networks, new forms of governance
    in Regional and Federal Studies , Volume 16, Number 2 / June ,  2006 ,  221-238
    The civic engagement agenda in the English regions is one of a number of notable features of the uncertain steps towards English regionalism. It primarily takes place through Regional Chambers/Assemblies, which are evolving increasingly sophisticated quasi-democratic representative methods to select individuals to represent sectors of civil society. These members are now regarded as equals in the regional policy-making process. The manner in which they contribute to policy making is redolent of national-level corporatist experiments in the 1960s and 1970s but arguably is better explained by theories of network governance.
