Making Geographies and Histories? Constructing Local Circuits of Value
Reflecting on findings from research conducted in the United Kingdom, we consider some implications for an understanding of economic geographies of the emergence of local currency systems (LCSs) within developed economies. LCSs are founded on the creation of local currencies and driven by local-but contested-circuits of consumption, exchange, and production. In this paper we are concerned with three interrelated sets of issues: the intersections …
Spaces for community involvement
Proposals for greater community involvement in local governance run through much ‘New Labour’ policy. Studies suggest that often the performance criteria tied to participatory mechanisms act to discipline citizen voices. This paper considers the ways in which this political space might simultaneously enable citizens to appropriate governmental power to their own ends. It draws on empirical evidence, gathered during qualitative research in south-e…
Bridges into Work? An Evaluation of Local Exchange and Trading Schemes (Lets)
Recently, the policy community has been paying particular attention to Local Exchange and Trading Schemes (LETS) as potential bridges into work for the unemployed. Up until now, however, there has only been piecemeal evidence on whether LETS are effective in this regard. In this paper, therefore, the full results of the first comprehensive evaluation of LETS are reported. In order to feed into the 'evidence-based policy-making' process, we evalua…
Reforming Adult Education
The state is increasingly understood as a collection of institutions that are continually reforming as a result of multiple influences. As a consequence, the form of the state is by no means coherent or stable. One type of influence shaping this ongoing reformation is state institutions themselves, for example, the continuing struggles over public service provision in the United Kingdom. It is this kind of internal state reformation with which th…
Local Exchange and Trading Schemes (Lets)
This paper evaluates Local Exchange and Trading Schemes (LETS) as a tool for community renewal. Reporting the results of a comprehensive three-year evaluation of LETS that used both quantitative and qualitative methods, we reveal that although LETS are an effective vehicle for community renewal, many changes are required if these schemes are to benefit a wider range of people. We conclude by documenting these changes. Este artículo evalua unos Pl…
Recasting Work
Local Exchange Trading Schemes (LETS) are networks for exchanging goods and services using a local currency. They are seen by some as providing an `alternative' way of negotiating changing and complex livelihoods. Current literature on LETS and work understands participation as a response to dissatisfaction around work and as a strategy for re-valuing work. In this paper we draw initially on new quantitative data to understand who engages in LETS…
Institutional power-geometries
Betweenness at work
This paper engages with current debates concerning reflexive research processes. It applies a relational concept of difference—recently envisaged as ‘betweenness’—to highlight how gender and class difference can be used to reflect other differences. It concludes that ‘betweenness’ can help identify geographies of identity and culture
