Governing the just transition
This article examines what forms of governance can enable a just and scalable green transition at the local level. While place-based approaches centred on anchor institutions are often promoted as vehicles for equitable and community-led transitions, their effectiveness is shaped by broader multiscalar governance relations. The article develops a conceptual framework that integrates distributive, procedural, and restorative dimensions of climate …

Food Security in South India
India persistently faces issues of hunger and malnutrition. Government measures primarily focus on improving food availability within households. However, dietary patterns are not constant. They fluctuate not only by cultivation seasons but also by workdays and non-workdays. The influence of the day of the week on nutrition has received limited scholarly attention. This article addresses this gap by providing an in-depth analysis of individuals’ …
Pension financialization and workplace pension wealth inequality
The growth of Defined Contribution (DC) pensions, in which retirement depends on individual savings and financial market investments, has been a key aspect of household financialization. This article examines the impact of the shift from Defined Benefit to DC pensions on workplace pension wealth inequality in Britain. We propose a conceptual framework to interpret the effect of this shift, highlighting four key channels through which DC pensions …
Austerity urbanism, local government debt-drive, and post Covid predicaments in Britain
Conditions of local governance in the aftermath of the global financial crisis are often discussed as reflections of ‘austerity urbanism’. What forms of mutations have taken place in austerity urbanism after the initial years of spending cuts at the local level? This article investigates this question by focusing on the uneven geographies of post-austerity debt-drive in Britain. It is shown that austerity urbanism in Britain was somewhat peculiar…

Spatial dynamics of post-crisis deleveraging
While the growth of household debt has been instrumental in the creation of the recent bubbles, debt disposal also plays an important role in shaping the scope and depth of busts. Much has been written about debt and leverage since the 2008 global financial crisis. Debt-downsizing, however, received little attention. Deleveraging has the potential to reinstitute stability but it can also create a drag on economic recovery. This paper investigates…

Impasse or mutation? Austerity and (de)financialisation of local governments in Britain
Post crisis, local governments’ (LGs) budgets have been drastically cut in Britain. Similar budgetary strains had serious consequences in the past, leading to major restructuring in LGs’ functions. This paper interrogates the spatial dynamics of short-term municipal finances by putting into dialogue the political economy perspectives on financialisation with the economic geography literature on urban governance. Using data for over 400 municipal …
Structural Foundations of Social Resilience
This article aims to contribute to the theoretical development of the social resilience approach. Recognising the interface between resilience and poverty studies, it proposes a distinct role for resilience research from a critical perspective to understand the dynamics of hardship in exceptional times, such as times of socio-economic crises, rather than explaining the long-term trajectories of poverty. It then provides a conceptual framework on …
Financialisation, Welfare Retrenchment and Subsistence Debt in Britain
This paper investigates the dynamics of low income household (LIH) indebtedness under austerity in Britain. Building on a range of political economy studies on the role of the state in the process of financialisation, the paper discusses the transition in the nature of LIH indebtedness in connection to the recent welfare retrenchment. The analysis of survey data and semi-structured interviews establishes the fact that LIHs experienced the greates…
Resilience, Agency and Coping with Hardship
This paper aims to contribute to the growing literature on resilience by focusing on coping with hardship during the Great Recession, drawing upon primary data gathered through household and key informant interviews in nine European countries. As the resilience approach highlights agency, the paper examines the nature of household responses to hardship during this period on the basis of the ‘structure-agency problem’. An important contribution of…
When rhetoric does not translate to reality
Austerity localism powerfully explains dynamics of (dis)empowerment at the local level, especially regarding the autonomy and accountability of local authorities and third sector organisations (TSOs) in the UK. Yet these dynamics at institutional level have also a clear impact on individuals, especially the socio-economically vulnerable. This is especially true in a time of cost-containment and welfare retrenchment. This article addresses a gap i…
The narratives of hardship
This paper examines poverty and hardship in Europe after the 2008 crisis, using household interviews in nine European countries. A number of findings deserve highlighting. First, making a distinction between ‘the old poor’ (those who lived in poverty before as well as after the crisis) and ‘the new poor’ (those who fell into hardship after the crisis), we show that hardship is experienced quite differently by these groups. Second, the household n…
Resilience, Hardship and Social Conditions
This paper provides a critical assessment of the term 'resilience' - and its highly agent-centric conceptualisation - when applied to how individuals and households respond to hardship. We provide an argument for social conditions to be embedded into the framework of resilience analysis. Drawing on two different perspectives in social theory, namely the structure-agent nexus and path dependency, we aim to demonstrate that the concept of resilienc…
Political Economy of Contractual Disputes in Private Water and Sanitation
2 Résumé en fin d’article; Zusammenfassung am Ende des Artikels; resumen al final del artículo. : This paper examines the causes of the contractual disputes in the water and sanitation sectors and the resulting reversal of the privatization process. The evidence has been gathered from four major case studies in Argentina. The discussion is based on the evidence contained in the legal submissions made by the Government of Argentina and the disputi…
Limits to Competition and Regulation in Privatized Electricity Markets
Privatization of electricity has been extensive both in the developed and the developing world. Failures in various areas have led to the emergence of a new consensus which regards competitive pressures and regulation as crucial for utility privatizations to work. This review paper presents a critical evaluation of this newly found wisdom with reference to the developing economies. The experience in the developed world, especially in the USA and …
Waiting for Miracles
This article focuses on the commercialization of urban water services in Zambia. It aims to demonstrate the tension between cost recovery and service extension when water sector reforms combine investment cuts with price increases. It is argued that in low-income economies where infrastructure limitations are serious and poverty is widespread, heavy reliance on 'tariff rationalization' with low levels of investment can lead to reduced access to w…
Poverty Reduction with Growth and Redistribution
In the late 1990s the bilateral and multilateral development agencies placed increasing emphasis on poverty reduction in developing countries. This led to the establishment by the United Nations of the 'International Development Targets' for poverty reduction. The target of poverty reduction might be achieved through faster economic growth alone, through redistribution, or through a combination of the two. This article presents an analytical fram…
