West Midlands Regional Research Framework
No full textThe aims of the West Midlands Regional Research Framework are to provide a viable, realistic and effective academic basis for undertaking archaeological intervention, either as a result of developer-funded operations or to underpin future research designs. The Resource Audit identifies the nature and extent of the known database and the Research Assessment evaluates strengths, weaknesses and biases in the record. The outcome will enable curators to integrate appropriate research strategies within their specifications and ensure that contractors tender and operate in full awareness of local designs. Equally, it will inform museum curators, education officers and university staff and students with regard to the research parameters of the region

Cluster policy in peripheral regions - the experience of the West Midlands, UK
No full textThis paper is based on my Phd research. It attempts to assess the cluster policy making in the West Midlands, one of the peripheral regions in the UK. The analysis reveals a number of the difficulties in applying the vague cluster concept to develop actual policy and therefore to promote regional competitiveness. In particular, the ubiquitous political influences, the complexity of the regional social and economic environment, and the lack of desire of rigorous policy making has made the actual deployment of cluster approach problematic. Studying the experience of the West Midlands therefore offers many lessons for other peripheral regions on how to develop cluster policy for their localities
