The concept of localism and spatial delineation of the 'city region' have seen a renaissance as the de facto spatial political units of governance for economic development. One articulation of this has seen the creation of Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) to potentially enhance Wales's poor economic performance and secure democratic forms of social cohesion. City regions have been vaunted as the 'spatial imaginary' for engendering economic development, but there are considerable state spatial restructuring tensions. The paper discusses these by following the development of city-regionalism in Wales and specifically the unfolding of the 'elite-led' CCR City-Deal.

Rich in case study insights, this book provides an overview of city-region building and considers how governance restructuring shapes political, economic, social and cultural landscapes. Reviewing the Greater Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea Bay City Regions, Cardiff Capital Region and the North Wales Growth Deal, the authors address the tensions and opportunities for local elites and civil society actors."

This paper provides an overview and synthesis of debates pertaining to the development of city-regions and their applicability to the UK space economy. The purpose is to make links to advance both international academic debates and realpolitik policy knowledge concerns. The paper, firstly, traces the multifarious and at times disconnected academic discussions around the concepts of regionalism, city-regionalism and localism in the UK. Secondly, it considers the contemporary academic debates on the city-region, focusing in particular on those applicable to the current UK policy context. Given that city-regions are increasingly seen as the principal (and often unquestioned) consolidating spatial scale for economic and social development, the paper, thirdly, probes on the silent and missing aspects of the prescribed city-region approach, connecting and contributing in turn to concerns with building inclusive-growth.

AbstractThis paper explores the local impact of various forms of fiscal and monetary support for UK-based companies in the context of disruption caused by COVID-19 and associated public health restrictions, including support for household incomes (and therefore private consumption) via the 'furlough' scheme, the Covid Corporate Financing Facility and various national and local business support schemes. It shows that the economic crisis associated with the pandemic has been construed to justify interventions that preserve the spatially uneven status quo of the UK's model of economic development, protecting business from harms arising, apparently, from the public's reaction to the pandemic. To some extent, COVID-19 has been treated as a localised phenomenon that the national economy requires protection from.

Many of the contemporary treatment recommendations and guides for adapting therapy for men originates from the context of the United States. This qualitative study invited 15 Australian therapists, who advertised themselves as working with men, to describe their recommendations for male-friendly counseling. Three themes and 14 subthemes were identified, each explained from an understanding of their male client group's experiences and common male norms. The themes included ensuring a safe space, to enact masculinity-informed respect, and to enhance client awareness and motivation. Therapists' suggestions for working with Australian men were congruent with recommendations in the existing literature; however, variations were noted in how traditionally masculine or feminine-consistent their emphasis was.

AbstractObjectiveIn this research, we explore participant experiences of a post‐separation parenting program as a protective factor for helping with post‐separation adjustment.BackgroundSeparation is a difficult process for children and families. It often involves distress and conflict that can negatively affect well‐being. Post‐separation programs are a protective factor to help parents adjust post‐separation. However, there is a dearth of qualitative research exploring how these programs help with post‐separation adjustment.MethodIn‐depth semistructured interviews were conducted with a sample of 13 parents who had attended a post‐separation program. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Two reviewers independently coded data inductively, and coding was subsequently independently reviewed by a third reviewer.ResultsGroup processes accompanying the program helped participants reduce distress in the acute post‐separation phase. Participants reported enhanced management of personal responses to the separation that contributed to personal development. Peer learning and support during this phase may be a relatively unexplored area.ConclusionPost‐separation programs that normalize separation and include practical strategies for emotion regulation and effective communication may be helpful for individuals' adjustment post‐separation.ImplicationsPost‐separation programs should be offered by organizations that support separated parents to help adjust during the early phase of separation.
