Abstract
The historical geography of the growth of the steel industry in Western Europe led to communities that were heavily, even wholly, reliant on the jobs and wages generated by steel production. In this article we focus on some of the social and political implications for such communities of contraction in the steel industry since the mid-1970s.Keywords
