Les politiques municipales socialistes en Grande-Bretagne
Depuis 1980, le gouvernement central en Grande-Bretagne a instauré un contrôle financier des dépenses municipales à la suite des initiatives socialistes qui ont entraîné des augmentations de l'impôt local. L'enjeu était de faire contrepoids aux coupures pratiquées par le gouvernement conservateur. Pour les fins de l'analyse l'auteur regroupe ces initiatives autour de trois domaines : « 1. les politiques de transport à prix réduit; 2. le non-respe…
Mutations économiques, développement local et politiques municipales, ou le Thanet District Council entre l'arbre et l'écorce
L'île de Thanet, située à l'extrémité nord-est du comté de Kent, en Grande-Bretagne, a connu trois vagues d'investissements depuis le début du siècle. Après avoir dégagé les diverses phases de la restructuration économique de l'île, les auteurs présentent les initiatives de promotion économique prises par les autorités politiques, en particulier l'aide à l'industrie touristique et le développement du port, et leurs effets dans le milieu. L'analys…

Crise économique et transformation du pouvoir local en enjeu politique
Crise économique et transformation du pouvoir local en enjeu politique : Grande-Bretagne, 1979-1984 En Grande-Bretagne, le pouvoir local se caractérise par un champ d'activité étendu, un degré élevé de professionnalisation, son infiltration par les partis politiques nationaux, son paternalisme et le refus de tenir compte des pressions populaires, sa centralisation et son souci d'égalité territoriale dans la distribution des services.

The Role of Family Help in the Housing Decisions of Young People
Recent debates about flows of help within the family have indicated considerable diversity according to the type of help (money, services), and ages and gender of those involved, and have shown that values are only a partial guide to the scale of such flows. This paper focuses on a particular occasion for help, young people's housing, and a particular region, South-East England, where one would expect family financial help to be high given the ca…
Housing Privatization and Housing Protest in the Transition from State Socialism
The focus of this paper is on housing privatization and housing conflict in moscow and Budapest since 1990. In Moscow the policy of 'free' housing privatization started in 1990 but take-up was low until 1992, after which there was a sharp rise to 35%. In Budapest housing privatization has involved payment and has risen slowly to 35 %. In Budapest the Tenants Association has had cooperative relations with the authorities, whereas in Moscow there h…
Sociology and Spatial Development
In recent years urban sociology has been more notable for its theoretical works, specialised research monographs and collections than for its output of textbooks. A number of books with urban sociology in their title (for example Dickens 1990) have offered a selective coverage of the field, but Saunders (1986) is the only comprehensive work. One problem in writing a textbook is undoubtedly that the boundaries of the field are hard to define. Urba…
Towards a Strategic Approach to Housing Behaviour
A model is advanced of young people's housing behaviour as resulting from strategies regarding household type, child-bearing, work, expenditure and family help, which in turn are partly a response to housing constraints. The model is applied to a sample of 724 young people in South-East England and it is shown that between 3 per cent and 34 per cent of young people had adopted particular strategies in the previous year in response to housing cons…

Introduction
Employers, Labour Markets, and Redistribution Under State Socialism
This paper seeks to explain the evolution of housing policy in Hungary in order to throw light on the character of redistribution under state socialism, and on the conditions under which employers intervene in the housing sphere. Changes in housing policy are explained by a model which emphasizes developments in the Hungarian economy, such as the rise of the second economy, changes in labour market competition, and the changing power of large fir…
Concepts, Contexts and Comparison in the Study of Urban Movements
This reply to Castells's comment focuses on three central issues: the most appropriate concepts and typologies for understanding urban movements, the best way of characterizing the influence of the context in which movements develop, and the utility of comparative analysis. With a few exceptions, it is shown that in each case Castells's comment reflects misunderstandings and theoretical confusions, and docs not set out an effective alternative to…

The Rise and Fall of Urban Movements and the Role of Comparative Analysts
The paper is concerned with the changing incidence and militancy of urban movements since the 1960s, The diversity of experience between countries, and within countries over time, poses a problem of comparative analysis. This can be tackled by advancing a single model applying in highly diverse situations-as in Castells's The City and the Grassroots-or by constructing a series of submodels each of which applies in specific conditions. Castells's …

Marxist approaches to the study of urban politics
Get article commence en mettant l'accent sur le débat entre Lojkine et Poulantzas pour identifier les divergences (ainsi que certaines convergences) au sein de la théorie politique marxiste. Ceci permet de passer à un examen critique de deux études récentes majeures sur la politique urbaine en France partant d'une perspective marxiste-celles de Lojkine et de Biarez et al.

Urban Sociology
On the Study of Urban Social Movements
The article makes a critical assessment of the approach to urban protest developed by Manuel Castells and colleagues. Problems are identified in the definition of the term urban social movement, the identifation of their effects and the theoretical assumptions made about the central and local state. The approach is shown to neglect the mobilization process, and to ignore effects obtained by conventional institutional methods of demand-making. The…
