This book explores the politics of localism, drawing on the work of
groups in three communities in post-industrial Nottinghamshire.
"Third Way" politics gave a high priority to local participation,
seen as a way of rebuilding social networks, and shifting welfare
provision from the state onto civil society. However, under
increasingly difficult conditions of austerity, significant
contradictions emerge between the aims of entrenching new markets
for service provision, and reviving communities and democratic
participation. Exploring in depth community organisers'
understandings of political economy and its local effects, and the
governance practices which set the frameworks for fiercely
independent community groups, the book outlines the forms of
politics which emerge. This includes a challenge to the dominant
thinking of the 'neoliberal consensus', but also frustration and a
sense of political communal loss which has left these communities
alienated from both national politics and the often-unattainable
benefits of global mobility - an alienation which makes the Brexit
vote of 2016 explicable as the disruptive outcome of a slow-burning
political crisis of long duration.
