SUMMARY:CRESC Annual Lecture 2015: What Can Devolution Do?
UID:{http://www.columbasystems.com/customers/uom/gpp/eventid/}f8v-if6ohie
 9-bhu8yp
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: Natalie Bennett\, Leader of the Green Party\
 n\nWhat kind of opportunity does devolution represent?  Hopes and promis
 es are not outcomes\, and devolution is too narrowly framed if it become
 s a way of boosting economic growth so that questions of social and demo
 cratic renewal are secondary.  Can devolution\, more broadly\, be a mean
 s to diverse ends including a ‘rebalanced’ economy\, fewer inequalities\
 , more public goods and services\, and a revitalized democracy?\n\nThese
  issues are discussed in the 2015 CRESC Annual Lecture by Natalie Bennet
 t\, Leader of the Green Party\, one of the new voices empowered by faili
 ng mainstream political franchises. Before audience Q&A we will have sho
 rt responses  from two academics\, Mick Moran the distinguished politica
 l scientist and Kevin Morgan currently adviser to the European Commissio
 ner for Regional Policy.\n\nThis event will be followed by a drinks rece
 ption.\n\nREGISTRATION: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/cresc-annual-lecture
