The re‐interpretation of urban politics: Three authors, four papers and the ‘shibboleth of regulation theory’
Organisations and the Transformation of the Internal Labour Market
This paper explores changes in employment policies and practices that are typically associated with the classical `model' of the internal labour market. Drawing on documentary information and interviews with managers in four large organisations in the UK, the evidence suggests that many of the `traditional' pillars of the internal labour market have been dismantled. New policies around training, recruitment, pay, job security and career progressi…
Front Rentiers to Rantiers: Active Entrepreneurs', 'Structural Speculators' and the Politics of Marketing the City
This paper explores the formation and practices of Marketing Manchester in the context of the rise of the partnership model of urban management and the apparent emergence of what some have referred to as growth coalitions. The combination of the growth in local unelected agencies and a shift in the national urban policy paradigm has demanded from cities a particular set of political responses and economic strategies. This paper uses Manchester to…
A Critique in Search of a Corpus: Re‐visiting Governance and Re‐interpreting Urban Politics
One of the most profound changes of the last two decades has been in the form and the function of local government. Its role as part of the local state has been challenged through the re‐scaling and re‐configuration of many of its aims. This paper examines the growth of business sector involvement and the ascendancy of the partnership model in urban development, as part of an analysis of the changes and the continuities that stretch across the lo…
From the 'new localism' to the 'new regionalism'? The implications of regional development agencies for city-regional relations
Global ‘system’ and local ‘personality’ in urban and regional politics
This paper seeks to re‐establish a structural context for the explanation of urban and regional politics by assembling what we refer to as a ‘conceptual hierarchy’. Specifically, we question the success of attempts to develop urban regime theory in the context of changing global economic and political circumstances while suggesting that these efforts, though revealing, will ultimately fail to provide a way forward for theoretical exploration. We …
Researching local elites: Reflexivity, ‘situatedness’ and political-temporal contingency
