Abstract

Abstract The article assesses economic development strategy in Wales since devolution. It considers theoretical views on success or failure of devolution to realise economic benefit, and reviews existing explanations of Wales’ lack of success in changing its position relative to other UK territories. The article develops a novel critique first of overall economic development strategy, suggesting problems of coherence, consistency and methods of implementation. It then critiques three policies that have had the potential to realise development strategy - transport, renewable energy and public procurement - again revealing problems of coherence, consistency, implementation and governance.

摘要本文评估了自权力下放以来威尔士的经济发展战略。它考虑了关于权力下放实现经济利益的成功或失败的理论观点，并回顾了威尔士在改变其相对于其他英国领土的地位方面缺乏成功的现有解释。本文首先对整体经济发展战略进行了新颖的批判，提出了连贯性、一致性和实施方法的问题。然后，它批评了有可能实现发展战略的三项政策——交通、可再生能源和公共采购——再次揭示了连贯性、一致性、实施和治理方面的问题。
