Future cities' theories for sustainable future
Defining left behind places
There is considerable debate in the literature as to the precise definition of ‘left-behind’ places, and the appropriate metrics for identifying them, and for successfully targeting regional policy interventions. We propose an evaluation structure for ‘left-behindness’ based on Amartya Sen’s capability approach, and argue that the diversity of criteria should not be seen as a shortcoming, but rather as a richness to be explored. We show, through …
A capability-approach perspective on regional development
We argue for a broader and more deliberative regional policy-making process that can be used to better identify the needs of diverse left-behind communities and develop appropriate policies. We argue that the capability approach’s quintessentially inclusive and broad scope, and focus on real opportunities, agency, and process might better address the challenges of regional development. We use these insights to lay out a practical guide for how th…
The shadow of the Pithead
Disentangling the Brexit vote
A large number of studies have analysed the role of individual and geographical determinants of voting behaviour in the context of the recent EU referendum in the UK, but several questions remain. A key unresolved issue is the extent of the interaction between individual voter characteristics and the geographical context in which they live, with some of the variance in voter preferences previously attributed to individual characteristics potentia…
Republicanismo, Feminismo E Desigualdade
A relevância do conceito de liberdade como não dominação da teoria republicana de Philip Pettit para a teoria feminista já foi reconhecida por teóricas como Anne Phillips e Iris M. Young. No entanto, se a liberdade como não dominação, tal como formulada por Pettit, é útil para identificar e legitimar ações estatais destinadas a combater situações claras de subordinação e dependência das mulheres em relação aos homens, ela não parece ser um refere…
Entrepreneurial practices in research-intensive and teaching-led universities
In recent years, there has been increased pressure on universities to deliver on their third mission. In the UK context, universities are encouraged to explicitly assume responsibility for facilitating economic growth, with a particular emphasis being given to the role played by the research-led institutions. Using a broad definition of entrepreneurial practices in universities, the aim of this paper was to extend the analysis of entrepreneurial …

Academic Entrepreneurship in the Creative Arts
The extensive literature on academic entrepreneurship has focused almost entirely on science and engineering, while little is known about the extent of it in other disciplines, most notably the creative arts. We analyse the context, motivations, and variety of academic entrepreneurship in the creative arts using a recently completed survey of UK academics, providing microdata on 1108 academics. The data are complemented using institutional data t…
Migration and inter-industry mobility of UK graduates
New university graduates are highly geographically mobile, but, as the literature has shown, often struggle in the labour market, working in non-graduate level jobs or in a field different from the one for which they are qualified. In this context, inter-industry moves can act as complements or substitutes for geographical moves, with graduates reacting to job mismatches by either changing location, industry, or both. Self-selection is also likel…
A densidade conflitiva da república nos Discorsi de Maquiavel
O caráter positivo da conflitividade na república nos Discorsi de Maquiavel já é algo bastante reconhecido nos debates acadêmico internacional e nacional. O objetivo deste artigo é explorar como o conflito de interesses é tratado nessa obra e qual seu alcance. Para esse fim, serão debatidas as concepções de liberdade e de grandeza presentes no mesmo livro. A partir desse debate, o conflito maquiaveliano será caracterizado como aquele formado por …

Educação
O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma avaliação da política de educação do Governo Lula em seus dois mandatos (2003-2010). Para isso, em primeiro lugar, é feito um breve diagnóstico do contexto educacional do país em 2002. Em seguida, analisa-se o primeiro (2003-2006) e o segundo (2007-2010) mandatos do presidente, quando o foco passa a ser o Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação (PDE
Representação em Rousseau e Hannah Arendt
O artigo tem como objetivo comparar as concepções de representação formuladas por Rousseau e Hannah Arendt. Sempre considerados como críticos da representação política, cada um dos autores faz sua crítica baseada em argumentos bastante distintos. Esses argumentos serão comparados, seguindo a trilha dos conceitos de natureza, artifício, vontade, unidade e pluralidade
