About Local Economy Journal

Founded in 1986, Local Economy is a peer-reviewed journal bringing together policy analysts, researchers, and practitioners concerned with place-based policies for economic development, regeneration, and human development. Although Local Economy is a peer-reviewed journal, it aims to make academic research accessible to all working in the broad fields of local economic development and regeneration.Local Economy operates as an international interdisciplinary forum that seeks not only to publish analysis and critique but also to disseminate innovative practice. For over thirty years, Local Economy has maintained a commitment to local grassroots activism, social justice, and economic empowerment considered within the context of wider social, political, and economic change.Local Economy covers a very broad range of issues and accommodates a diversity of perspectives. The editors intend to continue enlarging both the range of issues covered and the journal's international scope.Local Economy welcomes robust empirical analysis, which can include papers based on quantitative or econometric methods. However, such submissions will be judged on clarity and accessibility of writing, Local Economy is not primarily an econometrics journal. Papers relying on advanced econometric methods, over-reliant on algebra or mathematical notation in their presentation, and which do not define specialist terms for non-specialists will be rejected."Local Economy provides a unique insight into the shifting landscape of local economic development. The journal continues to evolve, both in international coverage, and the range of issues it engages with." Nigel Berkeley, Director, SURGE (The Applied Research Centre in Sustainable Development), Coventry University "Alone among academic journals, Local Economy combines robust academic research and analysis with insights and opinion from practitioners working on the latest developments in the field" John Shutt, Director of the European Regional Business & Economic Development Unit (ERBEDU), Leeds Metropolitan University "In addition to its core focus on local economic development, Local Economy has covered many other aspects of place shaping for the past twenty-six years, and as such is an invaluable support for professional development." Dr Ross Brown, Scottish Enterprise Sam Aaronovitch Memorial Prizewinner The Sam Aaronovitch Memorial Prize is awarded each year to any article in Local Economy which by both its quality and content best promotes the progressive values of LEPU’s founder Sam Aaronovitch. .
