"Putting Workfare in Place is a diligently researched and
empirically rich account of the significant changes to
Britain’s work-welfare regime. Policymakers need to be aware
of how institutional spaces and labour market conditions interact
to produce local knowledges and Sunley, Martin and Nativel provide
us with compelling evidence to question national assumptions of
socio-economic development."
Martin Jones, Director of the Institute of Geography and
Earth Sciences, University of Wales, Aberystwyth
"This book lays out a thoughtful assessment of the UK's New Deal
program and the extent to which its underlying theory and ideology
adequately reflect the geographies of unemployment. The authors do
a masterful job, and policymakers, academics, policy advisers, and
politicians will find this book both compelling and
considered."
Amy Glasmeier, E Willard Miller Professor of Economic
Geography, The Pennsylvania State University
"A thought-provoking book, raising important questions about the
impact of geography not only in shaping labour markets but also in
conditioning the success of workfare policies … An
inspiration for further research into the local dimensions of
worklessness."
Michelle Baddeley, University of Cambridge
