Theorizing, Deleuzian-style
There is a difference between theory and theorizing. One way or another, theory is central to the organization of most academic disciplines: for example, as a framework of concepts that expresses preoccupations, that codifies linkages, that relates discoveries, that raises questions. But theorizing is the becoming of theory: for example, running into problems, feeling perplexity, creating space, forming concepts, finding time, condensing framewor…
Hegemony and Regime in Urban Governance
This chapter reviews the development of regime theory and the theory of hegemony, compares and contrasts these approaches, and identifies their implications for the analysis of the state and society at the local level. It examines these theories by reference to the elaboration in recent years of urban policy networks and partnerships as part of restructuring of the local state, politics and civil society. The chapter investigates through a case s…
Leadership and place
Connecting place, policy and leadership
The first article in this issue provides a broad introduction to the theme of leadership and place for the case studies that follow. The article is an opening review which aims to achieve three things: first, to explore the idea of place as a distinct setting for leadership; second, to summarise the contemporary debate around the need for integrated policy approaches for the shaping and re-shaping of place(s) in advanced economies; and, third, to…
Place-making and the limitations of spatial leadership: Reflections on the Øresund
The concepts of place-making and place-shaping have grown in prominence over recent years, and have been taken up increasingly into public policy discourse. As used by many commentators, these concepts assume that places are amenable to purposive control under the leadership of local agencies of one sort or another including, for example, local authorities. The present article explores this assumption by sketching out a framework for the investig…
Positions without Negations? Dialectical Reason and the Contingencies of Space
The dialectical tradition that derives from Hegel and Marx has been very influential within social science, flowing into human geography from the early 1970s through the work of Lefebvre and Harvey. In their different ways these two scholars sought to extend dialectical logic to encompass the contingencies of space, and it is in this context that their seminal contributions to scale analysis can be understood. Since the 1980s, however, confidence…
Flat ontology and the deconstruction of scale: A response to Marston, Jones and Woodward
The Différance between Society and Space: Nested Scales and the Returns of Spatial Fetishism
By using a framework of spatial categories to illuminate social change, scale analysis intersects with a series of arguments that have been put forward over the years regarding the relationship between society and space. The coherence of scale analysis and its contribution to our understanding of this relationship are examined here, with a focus particularly upon the influential writings of Swyngedouw. It is argued that these writings are haunted…
Self-Organisation of Society by Scale: A Spatial Reworking of Regulation Theory
The scaling of social systems gives rise to a 'vertical' ordering that combines with the more familiar 'horizontal' ordering by place. But so far this phenomenon has been examined mainly from a political standpoint, and has not as yet received an adequate regulationist treatment. The regulation approach is at heart a systems theory, whereby innovations in accumulation and regulation-whatever their origins-will tend to be selected and woven into a…

Building the capacity for strategy formation in local government
The Dynamics of Local Intervention: Economic Development and the Theory of Local Government
A theoretical approach to the large-scale dynamics of local government is derived from Marxian political economy. This is then probed and developed by reference to the history of local authority intervention in the sphere of production over the last 100 years. The historical evidence reveals a pattern of periodic change in the stance of local government towards the local enonomy, a pattern that is broadly correlated with the main phases of econom…
