Abstract

The concept of ‘inclusive growth’ (IG) is discussed in a political economy framework. The article reports comparative analysis of economic and planning policy documents from Scotland, England and the UK and findings from expert workshops held in Scotland, which identify four key policy areas for ‘inclusive growth’: skills, transport and housing for young people; city-regional governance; childcare; and place-making. These policies share with the ‘Foundational Economy’ an emphasis on everyday infrastructure and services, but add an emphasis on inter-generational justice and stress the importance of community empowerment as much as re-municipalisation. Factors enabling IG policy development include: the necessary political powers; a unifying political discourse and civic institutions; and inclusive governance and participatory democracy.

包容性增长的政治经济学和实用政策-以苏格​​兰为例

摘要

在政治经济学框架中讨论了“包容性增长”（IG）的概念。本文报道了来自苏格兰，英格兰和英国的经济和计划政策文件的比较分析，以及在苏格兰举行的专家研讨会的结果，这些研讨会确定了“包容性增长”的四个关键政策领域：年轻人的技能，交通和住房；城市区域治理；育儿; 和场所营造。这些政策与“基础经济”共享对日常基础设施和服务的重视，但又强调了代际正义，并强调了赋予社区权力和重新实现城镇化的重要性。支持IG政策发展的因素包括：必要的政治权力；统一的政治话语和公民制度；包容性治理和参与性民主。
