An Actor, Game & Network Analysis of Decision Making in the English Regions Sarah Ayres (University of Bristol) & Ian Stafford (Cardiff University)

The English Regional Tier Regional governance is intended to facilitate: Improved decision making Policy co-ordination Better management of resources More efficient programme delivery Key Questions: Does the regional tier add public value? What does ‘good regional governance’ look like? Are there governance characteristics unique to the English regions? If so, can these characteristics be used to develop a ‘Regional Governance Assessment Framework’?

A Policy ‘Exemplar’ Regional Funding Allocations (RFAs) used as an ‘exemplar’ of wider regional decision making Research provides an in-depth analysis of the strategies & interactions adopted by regional actors in the RFA process Criteria for good regional governance based on: Government policy documents (1997-2009) Key themes in academic literature Policy context/guidance for RFAs

Regional Governance Assessment Framework Criteria for Good Governance Actor, Game & Network Analysis Koppenjan & Klijn ‘toolkit’ Regional Assessment Framework Government Policy Documents RFA Guidance Key themes in academic literature Actor Analysis Game Analysis Identifies ‘important questions’ & methodology Qualitative (interview) evaluation tool Quantitative (web survey) evaluation tool

Actor, Game & Network Analysis Preliminary findings: Actor analysis: Identifying actors, problems, perceptions & dependencies Game analysis: Identifying arenas & network stagnation Network analysis: Exploring interactions & rules

Conclusions Pros: Cons: Offers an alternative to ex ante objectives & performance indicators Provides a robust & theoretical underpinning to examine English regionalism Cons: Is the framework ‘regional’ (or multi-scalar)?
