World Futures and Complex Sustainability: The Urban Question in the Earth System
This article addresses the urban question in the Earth system by unpacking urban sustainability in the form of a set of conjectures, and it provides foundations for sustainable policy frameworks—rather than specific policy proposals—that lay out a new direction for urban governance in a period of global policy experimentation. Such policy frameworks or principles, subject to adjustment resulting from urban learning processes, represent an exercis…

Challenges and Drawbacks in the Marketisation of Higher Education Within Neoliberalism
This paper addresses some of the challenges and drawbacks associated to the ongoing worldwide process of marketization (neoliberalization) in higher education. Neoliberalism—the prevailing model of capitalist thinking based on the Washington Consensus—has conveyed the idea that a new educational and university model must emerge in order to meet the demands of a global productive system that is radically different from that of just a few decades a…

The entry then reviews restructuring and globalization in London starting in the 1970s, a set of processes that significantly altered the city's socioeconomic structure. D…
The ongoing aftermath to the financial crisis and the Great Recession
This article discusses the consequences of the financial crisis that started in 2008 in the West, and particularly in the United States, as a manifestation of neoliberal capitalism’s multiple failures. In doing so, it focuses on the scholarly contributions of Manuel Castells and his colleagues in two important books: Aftermath: The Cultures of the Economic Crisis (2012) and Another Economy is Possible (2017). Both books are collective works led a…
