摘要：The present UK government has adopted a “New Localism” in the operation of
regional policy (Balls, 2002). This involves the delegation of discretionary powers to
locally elected bodies, such as the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, and a
host of devolved agencies, such as the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs). We
fear that because of standard asymmetric information problems, such policies will be
extremely difficult to evaluate, which has implications for both their efficiency and
democratic accountability.
