The Construction State Unbound? Struggles Over the Seoul Metropolitan Region’s Greenbelt in an Era of Planetary Urbanization
This article builds on recent interventions into the study of planetary urbanization that call for greater interaction with the multiple social struggles and standpoints that embed this process. To do so, we advocate for academic engagement between planetary urbanization and the concept of the ‘construction state’. This is a term used in Japan and South Korea to describe an alliance between development corporations and the state, one whose expans…
The politics of post-developmentalist expertise
This article interrogates emergent forms of progressive ‘post-developmentalist’ urban expertise in Seoul, South Korea. We argue that a critical understanding of the nexus between political and civil society forged by pro-democratic activism is necessary to understand the politics of this expertise and the dilemmas it has encountered in creating alternatives to the legacy of developmentalist urbanization and promoting a more inclusive and emancipa…
Restructuring legal geography
We argue that legal geography’s ability to produce holistic knowledge about law and legal relations is hampered by the qualified dominance in the field of what we refer to as a contingency orientation. This phrase refers to both the belief that law, legal relations, and legal outcomes are more open and contingent than they appear to be, and to an empirical interest in bringing to light moments when law, legal relations, and legal outcomes appear …
Traveling Policy
This paper examines how South Korean policy field in the 1990s adopted Western style place-marketing strategies, and put them into practice as cultural revitalization programs of different Korean cities. The emergence of place marketing in Korea as a new paradigm for local growth stems from Korea's transition from a developmental to a post-developmental system, which was a conjunctural outcome of democratization, neoliberalization and administrat…
Dilemmas of the Nightlife Fix
In recent years, nightlife has been increasingly recognised as an important resource for the enhancement of the post-industrial profile of the city and for the promotion of gentrification in derelict neighbourhoods. It projects an image of a vibrant social and cultural life, considered particularly appealing to the young professional labour force of post-industrial sectors, the members of whom are particularly apt to consider moving to the city. …
Legal Geographies—The Right to Spaces for Social Dancing in New York City
As municipalities have enforced laws meant to enhance "quality of life" in gentrifying neighborhoods, controversies have erupted over the legitimacy of such laws. This study investigates one such controversy in New York City. It focuses on how the denial by the courts of social dancing as constitutionally protected mode of expression has led to the judicial endorsement of the municipality's cabaret law regulating the spaces for social dancing, de…
