Andy Sawford's Powerful Ideas lecture: Part 2

This blog series is composed of Andy Sawford’s Powerful Ideas lecture. The speech looks at where localism comes from, what it means, in the world we live in and, by commenting on current reforms, sets out how localism can help us meet the challenges we face now and in the future. The second post explores the potential of localism to be a philosophical response to centralism and globalism. The first part of the speech, which focused on the evolution of democracy and government in the UK, is available here.
