Abstract

FORDHAM G., HUTCHINSON J. and FOLEY P. (1999) Strategic approaches to local regeneration: the Single Regeneration Budget Challenge Fund, Reg. Studies 33 , 131-141. The Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) Challenge Fund aims not only to achieve its substantive aim of local economic regeneration, but also to change the way local partners operate. Strategy is crucial to both of these objectives. This paper reviews the differing approaches taken to strategy, characterized by consultation, participation and generation of policy and project options. Based on interviews with 16 SRB partnerships and two government offices, it demonstrates that in the first round of SRB, partnerships adopted a range of strategy development approaches - a dynamic process which is not easily captured by the administrative structures used to implement the Challenge Fund. FORDHAM G., HUTCHINSON J. et FOLEY P. (1999) Des strategies en faveur de la regeneration locale: le fonds SRB, Reg. Studies 33 , 131-141. Le fonds SRB cherche non seulement a atteindre son principal but, a savoir la regene ´ration economique locale, mais aussi a modifier la facon dont les partenaires locaux operent. La notion de strategie est capitale pour ces deux objectifs-la. Cet article fait la critique des differentes facons d'aborder la notion de strategie et qui se caracterisent par la consultation, la participation et le choix de politiques et de projets alternatifs. A partir des interviews aupres de 16 partenariats SRB et de deux administrations, on montre comment, au moment de la premiere tranche du SRB, les partenariats ont adopte des strategies differentes en faveur du developpement - un processus dynamique difficilement embrasse par les structures administratives utilise ´es pour affecter le fonds.

(1999) Strategische Inangriffnahme ortlicher Regeneration: die Herausforderung einer Sonderhaushaltskasse zur Sanierung (Single Regeneration Budget Challenge Fund=SRBCF), Reg. Studies 33 , 131-141. Der SRBCF beabsichtigt nicht nur, sein Ziel ortlicher wirtschaftlicher Wiederbelebung in der vorliegenden Form zu erreichen, sondern auch die Art und Wirkungsweisse ortlicher Partner zu andern. Fur beide Ziele sind Strategien von entscheidender Bedeutung. Dieser Aufsatz bespricht die verschiedenen Wege, die zur Annahme einer Strategie beschritten wurden, und durch Beratung, Teilnahme, sowie Schaffung von Ziel - und Projektoptionen charakterisiert werden. Im Anschluss an Besprechungen mit 16 SRBCF Partnerschaften und zwei Regierungsstellen wird aufgezeigt, dass sich Partnerschaften in der ersten Runde der SRBCF fur eine Reihe strategischer Entwicklungswege aussprachen - ein dynamischer Vorgang, der nicht so leicht von Verwaltungsstrukturen erfasst wird, deren man sich bedient, um den 'Challenge Fund' auf den Weg zu bringen.
