    Building consensus for network power? Some reflections on strategic spatial planning in the North West region of England
    in Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy , Volume 34, Issue 5, August ,  2016 ,  900-926
    This case study of collaborative regional spatial planning in the North West region of England seeks to understand if ‘network power’ provides a sufficient incentive for the politically stronger and institutionally established players (particularly local government) to adopt a more flexible approach to consensus building. An observed failure in this respect, due to the overwhelming strength of the parochial interests of local government under network governance, leads to a suggestion to incentivise greater collaboration and consensus building at the strategic level through what has been termed ‘meta-governed citizen power’.
