It is important however, to understand the conditions under which new ideas, such as reinventing local government, can be successfully transplanted into existing policy networks. Hence the article examines the contrasting fortunes of the local authority single issue group Steel Action in the domestic and EU arenas. It concludes that governance as `steering' is perhaps best seen in terms of the dynamics of a learning process with a high degree of uncertainty. - Reproduced Local government Local Government Studies 43039 43039 43039 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 25, Issue no: 3 AR43424 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
