Bulldozer Neo-liberalism in Istanbul
Istanbul is undergoing a radical and dramatic restructuring as the authorities seek to bring about a ‘Neoliberal Modernisation’ of the city. This centres on the promotion of market-oriented rationality, and private property. Current plans envisage restructuring huge swathes of the city to bring about functioning land and property markets. The resulting threat to residents and communities has provoked widespread but sporadic resistance. This paper…

The Coming Regional Crisis (And How To Avoid It)
The analysis of regional development and the formation of development policies is currently excessively influenced by the assumption that globalization represents the overriding causal influence and policy imperative. This bias seems to derive from insufficiently critical borrowings from the management literature, and the emergence of a stratum of economic development actors concerned primarily with regional 'competitiveness'. The article suggest…
Theory Led by Policy
Wales is a good lens through which to examine a number of issues in economic geography. It is one of the most highly globalised regions of Western Europe, it has a well-defined institutional apparatus of economic development, and it is about to establish a new all-Wales layer of governance (the National Assembly for Wales). It is also the object of a debate as to the virtues of existing patterns of development and the possibilities of alternative…
Globalization, unemployment and ‘social exclusion’ in Europe
This paper begins by reviewing recent development in employment policy at the EU and member‐state levels. It concludes that the dominant current trend is to re‐define employment policy as the targeting of potentially problematic groups of the unemployed, rather than as the attempt to create employment opportunities for all. The paper then suggests that contributions to current debates on labour market policy in Europe (and economic policy more ge…
Tying the Firm to the Region or Tying the Region to the Firm
In 1996 the Korean conglomerate LG announced plans to create up to 6100 jobs at a new greenfield electronics manufacturing operation in Newport, South Wales. The investment would have been unthinkable without the unique institutional capacity involved with inward investment attraction and development which exists in Wales. However, the scale of the LG investment has placed enormous demands on this institutional capacity and raises questions regar…
Labour and the Defence Industry
One of the least noticed inheritances of the new Labour government is Britain's military bias. The British economy has long born the imprint of Imperial levels of military spending, and it still hosts an exceptionally large defence industry (Fine and Harris 1985, Edgerton 1989,Wulf 1993). It is not only large, it is also changing radically. Labour has come to power at a crucial stage in the restructuring of arms production. It has adopted a strat…
The Changing Geography of the Military Industry in Britain
LOVERING J. (1991) The changing geography of the military industry in Britain, Reg. Studies 25, 279–293. A number of studies have suggested that defence spending has had a significant impact on the location of industry and the geography of labour markets. This paper, drawing on a recent study of the employment of research and development professionals in the UK defence industry, confirms that defence spending and related employment has been conce…

The Labour Party and the 'Peace Dividend'; How to waste an opportunity
Neither fundamentalism nor 'new realism
The catch-phrase 'realism' remains ambiguous between 'new realism' and realism of a critical nature. Lovering urges the case for realism which is critical and addresses current schools of socialist thought in this light
Fordism's unknown successor
A Perfunctory Sort of Post-Fordism
It has been claimed that the changes of the last decade represent a transition from a 'Fordist' towards a 'post-Fordist' pattern of economic organisation. A review of aspects of economic change in Britain in the last decade suggests that popular versions of this theory are misleading. Despite the international importance of some sectors, the British economy as a whole continued its relative decline. The labour market is being restructured through…
Postmodernism, Marxism, and Locality Research
s The conflict between postmodernism and Marxism is a central theme in contemporary human geography. This paper argues that the debate has been muddied by a confused usage of terms, and inadequate scholarship with regard to Marxism. It is necessary to distinguish between ‘postmodernism’ as simply a descriptive label for empirical developments in society, and the stronger claim that ‘postmodernism’ provides a new theoretical orientation capable of…
The Local Economy and Local Economic Strategies
This paper outlines the changing urban and economic patterns of the UK, in order to pose questions of principle concerning local economic strategies. Proposals for local intervention usually assume that the local economy is a coherent entity which can be influenced by regeneration policies. In reality most local economies are so fragmented that this approach is inadequate. Strategies for local benefits should devote far more attention to local la…
Militarism, Capitalism, and the Nation-State
Military activities currently play a major role in social and economic development, even in noncombatant countries, This fact has received remarkably little attention in the social science literature, until recently. As a result, the theoretical frameworks which are available for the analysis of military activities arc underdeveloped. In this paper it is argued that there are in effect two such frameworks, derived from the Marxist and Weberian tr…
The Atlantic arms economy
The new international division of labour among arms producers is increasingly subordinating European high-technology military industries to the industrial-military complex of the United States This is paving the way towards a new, military, regime of accumulation, coincident with recent patterns of capitalist economic growth increasingly dependent upon the production of department three output, luxury goods and. This has important consequences fo…
High technology industry in the Bristol sub-region
Boddy M. and Lovering J. (1986) High technology industry in the Bristol sub-region: the aerospace/defence nexus, Reg. Studies 20, 217–231. This paper presents a detailed study of ‘high technology’ industry in the Bristol region which comprises an important element of the UK's ‘M4 Corridor’ growth area. High technology industry in the region is found to be primarily identified with the aerospace industry, in terms of both products, process and occ…
Regional Intervention, Defence Industries, and the Structuring of Space in Britain
This paper is an Illustration of how different state practices have had a direct impact on uneven development between, and within, two adjacent regions in the United Kingdom. In one case, South Wales, state intervention has taken the form of regional assistance, nationalisation of the dominant industries, and public-sector employment. In the other case, the Bristol subregion, it has taken the form of defence activities, and especially support for…
