The Politics of Urban Cultural Policy brings together a range of
international experts to critically analyze the ways that
governmental actors and non-governmental entities attempt to
influence the production and implementation of urban policies
directed at the arts, culture, and creative activity. Presenting a
global set of case studies that span five continents and 22 cities,
the essays in this book advance our understanding of how the
dynamic interplay between economic and political context,
institutional arrangements, and social networks affect urban
cultural policy-making and the ways that these policies impact
urban development and influence urban governance. The volume
comparatively studies urban cultural policy-making in a diverse set
of contexts, analyzes the positive and negative outcomes of policy
for different constituencies, and identifies the most effective
policy directions, emerging political challenges, and most
promising opportunities for building effective cultural policy
coalitions. The volume provides a comprehensive and in-depth
engagement with the political process of urban cultural policy and
urban development studies around the world. It will be of interest
to students and researchers interested in urban planning, urban
studies and cultural studies.

the Holocaust, drawing on the accounts of survivors to describe

Pragmatist thought is central to sociology. However, sociologists
typically encounter pragmatism indirectly, as a philosophy of
science or as an influence on canonical social scientists, rather
than as a vital source of theory, research questions, and
methodological reflection in sociology today. In The New Pragmatist
Sociology, Neil Gross, Isaac Ariail Reed, and Christopher Winship
assemble a range of sociologists to address essential ideas in the
field and their historical and theoretical connection to classical
pragmatism. The book examines questions of methodology, social
interaction, and politics across the broad themes of inquiry,
agency, and democracy. Essays engage widely and deeply with topics
that motivate both pragmatist philosophy and sociology, including
rationality, speech, truth, expertise, and methodological
pluralism. Contributors include Natalie Aviles, Karida Brown,
Daniel Cefai, Mazen Elfakhani, Luis Flores, Daniel Huebner, Cayce
C. Hughes, Paul Lichterman, John Levi Martin, Ann Mische, Vontrese
D. Pamphile, Jeffrey N. Parker, Susan Sibley, Daniel Silver, Mario
Small, Iddo Tavory, Stefan Timmermans, Luna White, and Joshua
Whitford.
