What are we to do? Making sense of ‘joint ought’ talk
Doing your part
This paper addresses how joint obligations bear on what individual group members should do. I argue that joint obligations do not transmit to the individual level. On the view I defend, “What should we do?” and “What should I do?” are separate questions to be answered independently. I distinguish two versions of the view that joint obligations transmit to the individual level: Ought Transmission, according to which if a group ought to do somethin…
Joint Ought
Sometimes, what you ought to do depends on what other people will do: whether or not Dad ought to pick the kids up from school depends on whether Mom is going to do it. This seems obvious enough. Yet, it leads to a problem. Suppose that several agents each have two options: A or B. It would be best if they all did A, significantly worse if they all did B, and worst of all if some did A while others did B. As it happens, each is going to do B, reg…
Cool Times for a Changing City
The maintenance of the provincial city centres as symbolic cores to their regions has been a consistent strand in British urban policy. The demands of an ageing infrastructure, inefficient transport system, a dependent population, falling revenue, rising costs, and, as well, a pattern of spending inherent in regional status, are not peculiar to Manchester. The &s;Manchester script&s; has now been honed to perfection by the journalists and public …
The Future of Regional Cities in the Information Age
Castells identifies two potential consequences of the introduction of information technology into the workplace: dispersal of the workforce and individualization of work, including the spread of teleworking. Such tendencies would undermine one of the rationales for cities: bringing large numbers of people together in order to choreograph their work. Has information technology had the impact that Castells suggests? Evidence from interviews with me…
Mobility and the middle classes
While much is known about the mobility patterns of the middle classes in London and the South East, far less is certain about middle-class migration patterns in other regions of the country. Nor has the importance of other regional centres in providing opportunities in the professions and management been acknowledged. This article rectifies these omissions by drawing on research with young professionals employed in Manchester in the North West. I…
Family business in Russia
The paper seeks to explore via a series of interview‐based case studies aspects of the emergence of an entrepreneurial middle‐class in Russia. The paper notes the origins of those studied in the professional or highly skilled workers in the former Soviet Union. The paper reveals the complexity and fragility of the circumstances of these entrepreneurs and suggests that commentary in both Russia and the West that pins its hopes for social stability…
Familialism, Friendship and the Small Firm in the New Russia
Professional Work and Professional Careers in Manchester's Business and Financial Sector
This paper examines professional work and professional careers and the extent to which professionals face change, uncertainty and risk in their careers. The key issue is whether the power and privilege of the professions is being undermined. It draws on research from Manchester's business and financial sector including accountancy, law, actuarial work and corporate finance. Interviews with senior partners and managers in a range of organisations …
Changing Cities in Post-Soviet Russia
Since at least 1992, successive Russian governments have been pressed by the imf to cut public spending, and, in particular, to eliminate the large public subsidy to housing inherited from the Soviet-era ‘communal economy’ of housing provision. Indeed, the Yeltsin presidency has witnessed a steady erosion of the

Transitions in urbanization
Nation, State and Territory - A Political Geography
Urban Sociology
The paper reviews the disintegration of urban sociology as a recognisable domain of study in the early 1980s and its development as urban studies - an interdisciplinary research field with global reference and infinite scope. At the same time there was a re-entry of the 'local' and more specifically the 'urban' into the sociological mainstream as there was greater awareness of uneven development, the particularity of local experience and the poss…
