International Perspectives on Local Government and Housing
This paper examines the role of local government in the provision of housing across advanced economies in the contemporary economy and historically, while seeking to locate the Australian experience in a broader international perspective. The paper finds that ongoing challenges have given rise to policy innovation and new programmatic perspective. These developments have reflected non-systematic, and often disruptive, change rather than the conti…
Demographic trends and changing housing systems in Northern Ireland
This paper explores the dynamic interrelationship between demographic change and housing systems and the implications for assessing future housing need, including a review of the literature on demography and housing and a case study of Northern Ireland. The main research method is historical analysis of census and other data relating to changing population structures and the housing system in Northern Ireland between 1981 and 2011. These changes …
The geopolitics of real estate
This is an extremely ambitious work, demonstrating substantial scholarship and original research. It focuses on a critical analysis of the politics of real estate, including both land and residenti
The Housing Bomb
Critical commentary
This paper reviews the topic of second homes by bringing together perspectives from housing studies and leisure studies and advocating better collaboration between the two. It provides a critical overview of the literature on second homes, identifying key themes, and urging that future work avoid problems of reification, simplistic comparisons and superficial policy analyses. Suggestions for future work include more research on second homes in ci…

The Changing Housing System in Northern Ireland 1998–2007
This paper examines changing housing provision and policies in Northern Ireland during the period 1998–2007. The theoretical framework derives from the political economy of housing and the focus is on the extent to which devolution has impacted upon housing provision and policy since 1998. The distinctive history of housing provision in Northern Ireland since partition is reviewed. The period since the Good Friday Agreement has been characterized…
Re‐positioning Second Homes within Housing Studies
This paper advocates a theorized approach to second home ownership, which previously has been largely ignored in housing studies or seen as a localized problem. The growth of housing wealth and extended spatial mobility in rich countries has generated explosive growth in the ownership of second (and more) homes with an increasingly transnational dimension. This raises concerns about the concept of the home as a special kind of place. The notion o…
International Perspectives on Planning and Affordable Housing
Devolving Housing Policy and Practice in Northern Ireland 1998-2002
This paper reviews the effect of devolution on housing policy and practice in Northern Ireland. It outlines the history and context of devolution and housing policy in Northern Ireland, including the legacy and persistence of intense social conflict. Current devolution arrangements are reviewed, including the implications of enforced coalition for policy governance. The paper focuses on three dimensions of housing and housing-related policy devel…
After Housing Policy
This paper describes the results of a review of the housing content of UK General Election 2001 manifestos. Housing policy was of little importance during the election campaign. The main British political parties had, essentially, a shared housing agenda—to promote and facilitate home ownership, support area and community regeneration, tackle homelessness, improve the private rented sector, and prevent building on greenfield sites. Many issues of…
The Local Housing System in Craigavon, N. Ireland
The definition, identification and factors influencing the operation of local housing markets are relatively underresearched within the UK. This paper reports upon the outcomes of an investigation into the behaviour of housing markets within the local government area of Craigavon, Northern Ireland. The research investigated three interrelated themes of segregation, socio-tenurial polarisation and sub-markets. The findings indicate a high degree o…
Accommodating Irish Travellers
There has been limited academic analysis or debate on social policy and the accommodation of Irish Travellers in Northern Ireland. Available literature on this subject has mainly emanated from concerned Traveller lobbyists or supporters and has tended to claim that public policy has failed to respond to the accommodation and other needs of Irish Travellers. This paper argues that although site provision has been slow and incremental, due mainly t…
Housing Australia
Demographic Aspects of Social Change
This paper endeavours to elucidate some of the connections between housing and society through a review of recent debates on social change, demography and housing, and by reference to an applied study of demographic change and housing policy in Northern Ireland. The paper finds that demographic change and labour market restructuring, in combination, have been crucial factors in the transformation of the nature of social housing provision which is…

From Public Housing to Welfare Housing
This paper examines the shift in housing policy from public housing to welfare housing during the 1970's and the period of the Fraser government in particular. The period saw a series of new Commonwealth State Housing Agreements directed toward market pricing of public rental stock; at the same time Federal funds were declining, with marked effects on the public housing sector. The paper reflects on these trends and highlights certain contradicti…
Private Rental Housing in Australia
This paper is in five parts. In section 1, the significance of private rental housing in Australia is outlined, and contemporary Australian issues are related to overseas developments and local concerns during the 1960s and 1970s. In section 2, some problems involved in defining the private rental sector are examined, the focus being on different types of landlords. In section 3, trends, issues, and problems are discussed, this involving a detail…

Social Theory and the Urban Question
The Myth of Urban Politics
This paper contains a critical review of the concept of urban politics by means of an examination of three theoretical problems: the specificity of the term urban, the question of the local state, and the separation of the economic and the political in capitalism. Recent work on urban politics is seen to rely on untheorised notions of politics which rest on ahistoric and ethnocentric conceptions of the urban. The term the local state, it is argue…

Le centre‐ville est devenu un sujet populaire de débat dans le 'média', parmi les hommes politiques, et dans la recherche académique. Le gouvernement travailliste vient d'esquisser dans un livre blanc sa perspective future envers les problèmes du centre‐ville en indiquant que les résidents de ces zones centrales bénéficieront de ses programmes. Cet article questionne les suppositions sur lesquelles les débats en cours sont basés, et offre une ana…
