  • Of Its Integrated Coastal Zone Management The
    Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol. 1 475 The ‘Sefton Coast Partnership’: an overview of its integrated coastal zone management A. T. Worsley1, G. Lymbery2, C. A. Booth3, P. Wisse2 & V. J. C. Holden1 1Natural, Geographical and Applied Sciences, Edge Hill University, Ormskirk, Lancashire, U.K. 2Coastal Defence Unit, Ainsdale Discovery Centre Complex, Southport, Merseyside, U.K. 3Environmental and Analytical Sciences Division, Research Institute in Advanced Technologies (RIATec), The University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, U.K. Abstract The Sefton Coast Partnership (SCP), based in Sefton, Merseyside, UK, is set within the context of and reported as an example of Integrated Coastal Zone Management. It has developed out of a well-established and successful Management Scheme and, since its inception, attempted with varying success to develop a ‘working partnership’ which has sustainable management at its heart and which is responsible for conservation and the needs of the local community. The history, function and structure of the SCP are described together with the problems that emerged as the partnership developed. Keywords: ICZM, partnership, sustainable management, Sefton. 1 Introduction The coastal zone is hugely significant in terms of sustainable management since this is where human activities affect and are inseparable from marine and terrestrial processes and environments both in developed countries and the Third World. Integrated management therefore requires a holistic, geographic approach and, in order to be successful, action at the local and regional level which is supported by the national government.

We have worked very closely with our partners, businesses, private sector organisations, the voluntary, community and faith sector and our local community to understand what you love about the area and how we can work together to deliver the ambitions expressed leading up to 2030 and beyond. It has been really important that we ask local people, visitors and people who work in the Borough what your Vision is for the Borough and the engagement we have carried out on the Vision built upon the work and the many conversations that have taken place with communities during the past few years. The extensive engagement that was carried out to help us with our understanding saw us engaging with over 3500 people of all ages from across the Borough, who visit the Borough and who have businesses here to provide us with a collective view on the areas that are important for the Borough for the future. The inclusive process included a development of a website and a Visioning Toolkit, Pop-up Community Roadshows, meetings, workshops, surveys, a comprehensive social media campaign and yes we even had answers on a postcard.

  • Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization
    Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization By Ed Gareth Poole A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, England July 2017 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 64,174 words. 2 Abstract This thesis consists of three papers that make a distinctive contribution to the study of decentralization in the areas of fiscal policy, legislative behavior and government responsiveness. The first paper revisits theories of substate tax policy that usually draw on evidence from stable federations. Investigating fiscal decentralization reforms in four European countries subject to intense center-periphery territorial competition, I find that incentives operating in such systems generate a paradox whereby prominent autonomist regions are among the least likely to make proactive changes after decentralization. I theorize this as the best response to central government attempts at blame-shifting by locking regions into making controversial policy changes.
