Strategic Alliances: International, Local and Regional Government Alliances

Stephen Barber

Public Money & Management, 1997, vol. 17, issue 4, 19-23

Abstract: Kent County Council now promotes itself as the ‘European County’, a message that it seeks to deliver to the heart of institutional Europe through its Brussels office. Commentators generally agree that Kent has demonstrated how British local authorities can play an influential role at the European level, but will this acknowledged success be sufficient to maintain Kent’s position over the coming years in a rapidly changing Europe where large regions look set to wield the power? This article reviews how Kent formed alliances with authorities in the same region of north-west Europe. How real are these supra-national groupings and what benefits can they bring to the partner areas?
