The role of the state in the commodification of urban space: The case of branded housing projects, Istanbul
Globally, cities have been experiencing neoliberal urbanization processes since the 1970s, while also contributing to the production of the neoliberal condition per se. The neoliberal state plays a core role in such processes, which have deepened the commodification of urban space via various mechanisms such as the privatization of public land and key urban infrastructure. This article critically investigates the direct involvement of the neolibe…
The UK community anchor model and its challenges for community sector theory and practice
The growing policy focus since the 1970s in Scotland, the UK and internationally on ‘community’, community development and community ownership and enterprise has facilitated a certain growth of the community sector and therefore of concern for related discussions of theory and practice. This paper positions this turn to community within the shifting global political economic context, in particular the rolling out of the neoliberal state internati…

Thinking beyond the hybrid: ‘Actually‐existing’ Cities ‘After Neoliberalism’ in Boyle Et Al. A Response to Law and Mooney
We would like to begin by thanking Alex Law and \nGerry Mooney for their generally supportive while \nconstructively critical commentary on our paper \ntracking actually existing neoliberalism as it has \nbecome manifest in Glasgow since 1977. Their \ncommentary extends in valuable ways the range of \nideas through which neoliberalism’s assault on institutions \nof governance in the city might be better \nclarified, decoded and critiqued. As outl…
The spatialities of actually existing neoliberalism in glasgow, 1977 to present
Resisting the temptation to view the neoliberalization of urban policy as unidirectional, pure and hegemonic, this article sets out to make sense of the biography of the process in one city in particular, Glasgow. It attempts to organize, marshall and discipline existing literature on the city's local economic, planning and welfare policies, so as to offer a longitudinal reading of Glasgow's encounter with neoliberal reform across the period 1977…
Urban Policy in the New Scotland: The Role of Social Inclusion Partnerships
This paper seeks to address a number of important questions that arise from contemporary urban policy developments within Scotland. First, how far the recent and developing urban policies, most noticeably Social Inclusion Partnerships, of the Scottish Executive are influenced by or diverge from the strategies pursued by previous Conservative and Labour governments. Secondly, how far urban social policy, in a Scottish context, continues to be char…
Including the Community in Local Regeneration? The Case of Greater Pollok Social Inclusion Partnership
This paper seeks to evaluate critically the extent to which there is community involvement in the construction and delivery of urban policy under New Labour, through a case study of the Greater Pollok Social Inclusion Partnership. The paper concentrates on the Scottish experience, but its lessons resonate more widely. Its key finding is that, for all the rhetoric of New Labour and community involvement, the degree to which it has occurred in prac…
