Post-Brexit Regional Policy for Wales – top down or bottom up?

The Welsh Brexit blog aims to inform and encourage constructive debate and analysis on issues relating to Wales and the UK's exit of the European Union. In this Blog Professor Andrew Henley took up the debate on regional policy for Wales post-Brexit. He argued that while Brexit offered an opportunity to move away from traditional time-contingent regional support programmes, if its successor was to benefit those most in need, a new model must maintain and develop the principles of subsidiarity that the EU operated – that social and economic issues should be addressed at the lowest possible level consistent with their resolution.
