It considers urban governance after the 2008 crisis, from the perspective of governability. How did cities navigate the crisis and the aftermath of austerity, with what political ordering and disordering dynamics at the forefront? To answer these questions it engages with two influential theoretical currents, Urban Regime Theory and Gramscian state theory, with a view to understanding how governance enabled austerity, deflected or intensified localised expressions of crisis, and generated more-or-less successful political alternatives. It develops a comparative analysis of case studies undertaken in the cities of Athens, Baltimore, Barcelona, Greater Dandenong (Melbourne), Leicester, Montreal and Nantes, and concludes by highlighting five characteristics that cut across the cities, unevenly and in different configurations: economic rationalism, weak hegemony, retreat to dominance, weak counter-hegemony and radically contagious politicisations.Item Metadata only The Black Sea Region and EU policy: the challenge of divergent agendas(Ashgate, 2010) Henderson, K.; Weaver, CarolItem Metadata only Botched business 2006-2008: the damaging process of reorganising local government(Douglas McLean, 2008) Chisholm, Michael; Leach, SteveItem Metadata only Bridging the gap between social and market rental housing in six European countries?(IOS Press, 2009) Haffner, Marietta; Hoekstra, Joris; Oxley, Michael; van der Heijden, HarryItem Metadata only A brief introduction to US politics(Pearson Longman, 2006) McKeever, Robert J.; Davies, PhilipItem Metadata only Britain and the European Union(Edinburgh University Press, 2007) Jones, AlistairThis accessible introduction to the subject of Britain and the EU pays equal attention to both institutions and their relationship with one another. It examines the history and development of the EU, setting the framework for the current relationship; the institutions of the EU and how they affect Britain; and some of the common policies.Item Metadata only Britain and the European Union(Edinburgh University Press, 2016-03) Jones, AlistairThe relationship between Britain and the European Union appears to be rather complex. It is often confusing and misunderstood. Some of this is a result of misrepresentation of the relationship in the media. This book examines the relationship in a clear and coherent manner. It highlights different forms of relationship between the EU and the different tiers of government in the UK. A historical context is also presented, to enable a clearer understanding of the relationship and how it has changed over time. The role of the media, political parties, pressure groups and the ever-changing position of public opinion are also evaluated.Item Metadata only Britain and the World Since 1945(Routledge, 2014-07-22) Blair, AlasdairThis Seminar Studies title is a succinct study of modern British foreign policy, focusing on the period from 1945 to the present day. Since the end of the Second World War, Britain has been engaged in international conflicts from the Suez Crisis to the Gulf War and has actively sought involvement in transnational and global affairs. Starting with a brief overview of the rise and fall of the British Empire and continuing chronologically with detailed chapters covering the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, Alasdair Blair discusses the highs and lows of British foreign policy in an accessible yet analytical manner. Dealing with themes such as the issues triggered by decolonisation and the changing relationship between Britain and Europe, this text considers the pivotal moments in modern Britain's engagement with the wider world. Included in this title are supporting materials, such as a chronology of important events from 1945, a Who's Who of key government figures and a collection of relevant primary sources. Thorough yet concise, Britain and the World since 1945 is the ideal resource for students interested in the development of British foreign policy.Item Metadata only Business Research Methods: A Practical Approach.(McGraw Hill, 2009) Cameron, S.; Price, DeborahItem Metadata only Changing local governance, changing citizens.(Bristol: Policy Press, 2009) Durose, Catherine; Greasley, Stephen; Richardson, LizThe relationship between citizens and local decision makers is a long standing policy pre-occupation and has often been the subject of debate by politicians across parties. Recent governments have sought to empower, activate and give responsibility to some citizens, while other groups have been abandoned or ignored. Drawing on extensive up-to-date empirical work by leading researchers in the field, "Changing local governance, changing citizens" aims to explain what debates about local governance mean for local people. Questions addressed include: what new demands are being made on citizens and why? Which citizens are affected and how have they responded? What difference do changing forms of local governance make to people's lives? The book explores governance and citizenship in relation to multiculturalism, economic migration, community cohesion, housing markets, neighbourhoods, faith organisations, behaviour change and e-democracy in order to establish a differentiated, contemporary view of the ways that citizens are constituted at the local level today. "Changing local governance, changing citizens" provides a pertinent and robustly empirical contribution to current debates amongst policy makers, academics, practitioners and local communities about how to respond to this changing policy framework. It will be of interest to post-graduate students and academic researchers in politics, public and social policy, sociology, local government and urban studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners.Item Metadata only The changing role of local politics in Britain(Policy Press, 2006) Leach, SteveItem Metadata only Choice and the end of social housing(Institute of Economic Affairs, 2006) King, PeterItem Metadata only City flight migration patterns in the East Midlands(East Midlands Development Agency, 2007) Brown, Tim J.; Coombes, M.; Champion, T.; Raybould, S.Item Metadata only Classroom Control: a Sociological Perspective(Routledge, 2012) Denscombe, MartynItem Metadata only The common place: the ordinary experience of housing(Ashgate, 2005) King, Peter
