Abstract
The North East Constitutional Convention (NECC) first met in April 1999 with the Bishop of Durham, the Right Reverend Michael Turnbull, in the chair. It set itself the task, by the end of the year, of proposing a model of regional government that is both credible and capable of generating wide support in the region. Its work is the latest chapter in a long history of debate about the case for an elected North East Assembly. The major political parties, the trade unions and the local authority association have all held the ambition of an elected regional assembly (Tomaney, 1999a, 1999b). This article outlines the argument for elected regional government that is being made by the Convention and describes the model of an elected regional assembly that the Convention has proposed for discussion in the North East of England.
期刊介绍：
Regional Studies is a leading international journal covering the development of theories and concepts, empirical analysis and policy debate in the field of regional studies. The journal publishes original research spanning the economic, social, political and environmental dimensions of urban and regional (subnational) change. The distinctive purpose of Regional Studies is to connect insights across intellectual disciplines in a systematic and grounded way to understand how and why regions and cities evolve. It publishes research that distils how economic and political processes and outcomes are contingent upon regional and local circumstances. The journal is a pluralist forum, which showcases diverse perspectives and analytical techniques. Essential criteria for papers to be accepted for Regional Studies are that they make a substantive contribution to scholarly debates, are sub-national in focus, conceptually well-informed, empirically grounded and methodologically sound. Submissions are also expected to engage with wider debates that advance the field of regional studies and are of interest to readers of the journal.
