Practices of Freedom: Decentred Governance, Conflict and Democratic Participation
The shift from government to governance has become a starting point for many studies of contemporary policy-making and democracy. Practices of Freedom takes a different approach, calling into question this dominant narrative and taking the variety, hybridity and dispersion of social and political practices as its focus of analysis. Bringing together leading scholars in democratic theory and critical policy studies, it draws upon new understanding…
Faultline Citizenship: Ethnonational Politics, Minority Mobilisation, and Governance in the Israeli “Mixed Cities” of Haifa and Tel Aviv-Jaffa
Belfast, Jerusalem, Brussels, Montreal, Sarajevo and Nicosia are among the most oft-mentioned examples of ethnically divided cities, situated in a wider context of ethnonational conflict (to varying degrees of intensity). At the same time there are other cities where ethnic and cross-community tensions are significant, but which have not occupied sufficient academic interest. In the Israel/Palestine context, the cities of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Haifa…
Embryonic' Knowledge-based Clusters and Cities: The Case of Biotechnology in Scotland
The cluster concept has been promoted in recent years as a panacea for economic development, both locally and nationally. One source of theoretical and empirical ambiguity in the concept is related to the spatial processes underpinning cluster development, and to the relationship between cities and clusters in particular. This paper examines the case of the biotechnology cluster in Scottish cities, with particular reference to Glasgow and Edinbur…
Interrogating ‘Enterprise Europe’: Issues of coordination, governance and spatial development in the European Union's emerging enterprise policy
This article provides a critical examination of the still‐emerging European Enterprise Policy. European‐wide Enterprise Policy is a relatively recent addition to the host of initiatives and strategies designed to address issues of economic competitiveness and innovation in the EU. In its current form European Enterprise Policy focuses on the promotion of small and medium enterprises as a panacea for economic growth, innovative capacity, productiv…
Institutional Barriers to Associative City-region Governance: The Politics of Institution-building and Economic Governance in 'Canada's Technology Triangle
It has been argued that collaborative and associative forms of governance can enhance the economic competitiveness of cities and regions. Institutionalist approaches to urban and regional economic development have been particularly influential in emphasising the potential role that collaboration between firms, governance agencies, labour and supporting institutions can play in enabling communities to promote progressive competitiveness. At the sa…
New spaces of governance: Re‐reading the local state in Ontario
This paper suggests how a refined approach to the study of local politics in Ontario might contribute to analyses of the complex geographies of governance in this province and, by implication, in Canada. In particular, it is argued that Canadian urban governance studies need to take seriously the apparatus of local agents and institutions, spanning the state and civil society, and to consider the ways in which local governance in this country is …
Vision? Interurban competition, crisis and the politics of downtown development in Cincinnati, Ohio
This paper traces the emergence of a growth coalition in Cincinnati, Ohio, which since the early 1990s has been able to define the agenda for the city's downtown redevelopment efforts. We argue that this process is embodied in the contingencies of local political cultures and that an emphasis on the discursive strategy of elite coalitions allows for a clearer understanding of transitions in urban governance. The conceptual approach of this paper …
