Enterprise Zones were first established in the United Kingdom in 1981 . Without waiting to assess the policy the Government has declared both a second group of zones and its intention to establish freeports . This article shows that far from being innovative freemarket initiatives, enterprise zones in many ways mirror traditional regional policies and are heavily dependant on state intervention . They have achieved little so far in terms of job creation or economic growth but are performing a wider ideological function by attacking local democracy and legitimating broader calls for lower industrial rates . Despite the Labour Party's national policy of opposition to the zones, many Labour controlled councils have been keen to see EZs established in their area
