Revised version localism and sub national economic development
Central government dominates regional economic development in the UK. Localities and cities within regions are more focused on their own interests than regional cooperation. Evidence from other countries suggests governance at a metropolitan or city-regional level makes more sense for issues like development, transport, and planning. However, the UK's regional economic policy has failed to meaningfully reduce economic disparities between regions, as city economic performance rankings have changed little over time. The creation of Local Enterprise Partnerships is an attempt to decentralize economic governance, but questions remain over their true powers and whether they represent further renationalization rather than meaningful localism. Ongoing challenges include balancing growth opportunities versus needs across places and reconciling local and national economic priorities.

Central government plans for economic growth may not adequately reflect the uneven economic geography in the UK. While some areas and cities are growing, growth is concentrated in urban cores, and not all communities will benefit equally. There are ongoing challenges at both the national and local levels in reconciling place-based policies with sector-neutral policies, and in coordinating economic development efforts across different administrative boundaries and levels of government. Local governments also face capacity issues in taking on more responsibilities with fewer resources.
Total place report
Total Place sets a new direction for local public services based on work by central government, local authorities, and partners. The report outlines commitments to give greater freedom and flexibility to local areas led by local authorities. This includes freedoms from central controls, for local collaboration, to invest in prevention, and to drive growth. The 13 pilot areas served over 11 million people and demonstrated real savings and service improvements from a whole area approach. For example, 2% savings in locally controlled spending in 2013-14 could release over £1.2 billion for reinvestment.
Great Expectations
California's early industry grew rapidly in the early 1900s, driven by agricultural and economic expansion. As the population and development increased, so too did the demand for water resources to sustain further growth. Reliable access to water was essential to meeting the rising expectations for California's emerging industry and economy at that time.

This book examines the importance of knowledge in driving economic growth from the perspective of the information revolution. It argues that useful knowledge, including both scientific principles and techniques, placed constraints on what economies could achieve but also spurred growth when expanded. The Industrial Revolution occurred due to an "Industrial Enlightenment" that broadened useful knowledge in areas like agriculture, transportation, and medicine. While knowledge is necessary for growth, complementary factors like institutions, culture, and access are also needed to apply knowledge for economic gains.
5.2 Directvariation
The document defines direct variation and provides examples of how to determine if a relationship is direct variation. It explains that direct variation can be represented by an equation in the form of y=kx, where k is the constant of variation. It gives examples of determining the constant of variation from tables of x and y values and using the constant to find unknown values. It also provides examples of solving word problems using direct variation.

Total place a practitioner's guide to doing things differently
This document provides an introduction to the foundational theories behind the Total Place initiative in local government. The key ideas discussed include:
1. Total Place recognizes that human systems are complex and adaptive, requiring messy solutions rather than simple fixes.
2. Different viewpoints and cultural theories should be considered to develop diverse solutions for "wicked problems".
3. A focus on public value, not just costs or services, is needed to truly serve citizens. Outcomes, strategic goals, and operational capacity must be considered together.
4. Leadership should facilitate new thinking to address challenges in innovative ways. Total Place aims to bring different players and perspectives together to generate new ideas.

Latin America III
Mexico experienced constant conflict between conservatives and liberals after establishing a federal republican government in 1824. Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna was elected president as a liberal but governed as a centralist, ignoring the constitution. His inconsistent leadership contributed to ongoing tensions between political factions that sometimes erupted into war. Reforms initiated by liberals led to a new constitution and civil war in the late 1850s, with liberals emerging victorious led by Benito Juarez.
Latin America II
After 1840, Britain established free trade with Latin America, importing goods and providing credit, transportation, and marketing support. This increased economic activity allowed Latin America to pay off debts from its independence era. However, strong centralized governments took longer to form than expected. Liberal policies like free markets and reduced Church power had mixed results, strengthening some nations while civil wars erupted in others. Financial ties to Europe enabled infrastructure development but living standards in rural areas declined as European immigrants dominated certain jobs.
Latin American I
This document provides a summary of Latin American independence movements and developments in the region during the 1800s. It describes how various South and Central American countries declared independence from Spain and Portugal between 1811-1823. It then discusses the social, economic and political situation in Latin America during the 1830s-1840s, including economic growth driven by increased exports. Finally, it notes slavery was abolished and Jesuits were expelled from 1851-1854.
Crossroads of Freedom
The Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862 was the bloodiest single day in American history. It resulted in a critical victory for the Union that squashed Southern hopes of gaining European support, and prompted Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. The outcomes of the battle came from misjudgments, valor, and coincidence on both sides. In the following months, Robert E. Lee renewed Southern successes but also European interest in aiding the South, putting pressure on Lincoln to emancipate slaves as the war shifted to a focus on ending slavery.

Little Ice Age
The Little Ice Age occurred between the 14th and 19th centuries and was caused by increased volcanic activity, decreased solar radiation, or changes in ocean currents. It followed a period of warmer temperatures called the Medieval Warm Period. Areas affected experienced crop failures, famines, increased disease, emigration, social unrest, and inspired darker themes in art. People incorrectly believed it was caused by evil forces and persecuted others. Societal changes included the introduction of new crops like potatoes and alcoholic drinks, migration patterns, and impacts on wars and military outcomes.
Queen Calafia's Island

Making It Happen
Labor unions have been fighting against certain industries that they believe exploit workers. While unions aim to protect employee rights and secure better compensation, industries argue that some union demands increase costs of business. There is an ongoing debate around balancing the interests of workers and businesses.
Emancipation & Reconstruction
The emancipation of slaves brought new problems as freedom meant the slaves needed to find ways to earn money, as working the land was the only skill they had. Many struggled without the structure of slavery and had to learn to support themselves. The Reconstruction era following the Civil War was a transition period as former slaves adapted to their new lives and status in society.
Imperialism
Guam, the Philippines, Samoa, and Puerto Rico were once American colonies whose locations were strategically important for American security against foreign invasion. The document discusses how these islands were colonies of the United States and their locations helped protect against threats from other countries. In fewer than 3 sentences, it summarizes the key points that these places were once US colonies and their locations provided strategic value for security.
Immigrants and Cities
Migrants left farms in search of better jobs in cities during the late 1800s. Factory work provided opportunities for improved wages compared to agricultural work. The prospect of jobs in urban centers led many rural residents to relocate for new economic opportunities in the growing industrial landscape of that era.
Conquering and Settling The West
The document discusses the expansion of railroads out west in the United States and the role of the Calvary in keeping peace. As railroads expanded, Indians were sent to live on reservations.
Jamaica
The document provides information on the geography, history, people, and culture of Jamaica. Some key points:
- Jamaica is a mountainous tropical island in the Caribbean south of Cuba, known for its beaches and coral reefs.
- It was colonized by Spain in the 15th century and later became a British colony, establishing sugar plantations worked by African slaves.
- The culture reflects both British and African influences, seen in music genres like reggae, dance styles, and cuisine like jerk chicken.
- The population is predominantly of African descent with minorities of Indian and Chinese descent also. English is the main language along with a local patois.
