How to green your city? Boundary challenges and net zero place leadership
Urban leaders are increasingly seeking to navigate to net zero emissions whilst balancing wider economic and social priorities. Facing the leaders tasked with delivering these ambitions are a set of boundary challenges, including in relation to time, geography, governance and policy. We explore the practical steps leaders are taking to manage these challenges in Scotland’s four largest cities – Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our contrib…
Scotland’s Economy after 25 Years of Devolution
Prior to devolution, a significant majority of Scots believed that their new parliament would greatly improve the performance of the Scottish economy. We show that, in the subsequent twenty-five years, performance has been mixed. In some areas, Scotland’s relative economic performance has improved particularly relative to an increasingly unequal UK economic model. But against key international competitors, and in areas where the parliament has le…
Beyond GDP’ in cities
Crises spur reflection and re-evaluation of what matters and what is valued. The impacts of the 2008 global financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic and climate emergency are reigniting debates about the nature of economic development approaches and what they aim to achieve in urban settings. Addressing a substantive gap in contemporary debates by helping to navigate a burgeoning and diverse field, this paper provides a critical and comparative assess…

Angry populists or concerned citizens? How linguistic emotion ascriptions shape affective, cognitive, and behavioural responses to political outgroups
Emotion expressions of outgroup members inform judgements and prompt affective responses in observers, shaping intergroup relations. However, in the context of political group conflicts, emotions are not always directly observed in face-to-face interactions. Instead, they are frequently linguistically ascribed to particular actors or groups. Examples of such emotion ascriptions are found, among others, in media reports and political campaign mess…
Academic knowledge brokering in local policy spaces
Background: Academic researchers are occupying more varied roles as both knowledge producers and knowledge brokers in policymaking spaces beyond the national level. As the local arena presents different dimensions to the knowledge-policy-practice nexus, an assessment of the interaction of evidence and policy at this scale is warranted. Aims and objectives: This paper considers how two early career researchers acted within two different policymaki…
Building back better in urban contexts through a dual ethics of justice and care
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has had sharp effects in urban settings, both in terms of exposing existing inequalities but also in presenting possibilities for reconfiguring the social and spatial organisation of urban life around new ethical foundations. This has led to political exhortations to ‘Build Back Better' (BBB) as a way of avoiding a return to the old ‘normal’ of deep and enduring structural inequalities. However, scepticism rema…
The promises and pitfalls of operationalizing inclusive growth
Inclusive growth is a resurgent concern for policymakers, raising questions about what economic development is for and the outcomes to be prioritized. This paper contributes to the literature by examining the opportunities and challenges emerging from attempts to operationalize inclusive growth in four regional contexts in Scotland. We show that applying inclusive growth ultimately rests on complex factors, from local leadership and autonomy thro…
Critical realist perspectives on the urban growth system
Why some cities have been able to sustain economic growth more than others, and how particular technological or sectoral break points shift a city's economic performance favourably (or unfavourably), present ongoing conundrums. Whilst single factor accounts - such as the skilled city and the creative city - have the appeal of analytical parsimony, economic geographers suggest that a multiplicity of structures, processes and events typically sit b…
Agglomeration is in the eye of the beholder
With a focus on evolving governance configurations, this paper traces attempts at promoting polycentrism. The paper steers attention to the policy approaches that seek to develop and promote a polycentric urban region (PUR), whether that polycentric economic system is actual now or something only faintly sketched out now but aspired to in the future. Tracking policy shifts concerning a perceived Glasgow–Edinburgh economy over a period of two deca…
City Deals in the polycentric state
This paper draws attention to the burgeoning phenomenon of Metrophilia , the fashionable yet uncritical embrace of city-centric narratives of development in place-based policymaking. Within this narrative, City Deals have emerged as mechanisms that pit places in competition with each other through the promotion of local economic growth compacts. Despite being launched with great fanfare as localised victories, City Deals raise important questions…
Spaces of city-regionalism
City-regionalism is now established as a key spatial arena for shaping sub-national urban policy. In these spaces, economic growth interests are marshalled within a competitiveness narrative as the dominant approach for the development of governance and policy. Yet such dominance in principle does not preclude other policy approaches from emerging and re-fashioning city-regionalism. In this paper, making reference to evolving city-region arrangem…
New directions in regional innovation policy
Lifting the economic performance of lagging regions continues to puzzle economic development practitioners and analysts. As a means of contributing some solutions to this puzzle, this paper examines a policy intervention that promotes regional development through a public–private-sector initiative that uses a network model to catalyze innovation-driven entrepreneurship. It focuses on a programme operated by the Alacrity Foundation in the region o…
Writing in/of/and educational leadership
In this article, I deal with a journal’s relation to its field and issues involved in writing and publishing, especially in educational administration and educational leadership. Some issues discussed include: the social construction of the field; the conservatism of educational administration and, later, educational leadership; status hierarchies in the field; the false dichotomy of theory/practice; and the hegemony of the quantitative

Teaching the Unteachable
In this essay I broach some of the issues surrounding the teaching of qualitative research methods, not in an effort to necessarily resolve them, but so that we might wrestle with them. Some of the issues concerning the teaching (and learning) of qualitative research include, but are not limited to: the schooling trends of pedagogicization; the politics-global, national, regional, and local-affecting teaching; interpersonal and intrapersonal stru…
A Simple Card Trick
Yet today, despite recent welcome additions, relatively little is written about teaching qualitative research. Why is that? This article reports out a relatively simple, yet appealing, pedagogical move, a lesson the author uses to teach qualitative data analysis. Data sorting and categorization, the use of tacit and explicit theory in data analysis, and discrepant case analysis can all be illustrated though use of a standard deck of playing cards…

Teachers in Conference
Ethnographic methods and conversation analysis were used to examine five teacher-supervisor conferences and their contexts. Related to the literature of supervision, teacher socialization, and mentoring, this report details how three teacher conference roles—passive, collaborative, and adversarial—were constructed, face-to-face and moment-by-moment. Teachers’ interactional resources are illuminated as supervisors’ presumed hegemony is reconsidere…
