Democracy, States, and the Struggle for Social Justice draws on the fields of geography, political theory, and cultural studies to analyze experiments with novel forms of democracy, highlighting the critical issue of the changing nature of the state and citizenship in the contemporary political landscape as they are buffeted by countervailing forces of corporate globalization and participatory politics. Using interesting case studies, the book explores these 3 main themes:
The book asks and answers: are participatory models of democracy viable alternatives in their own right or are they best understood as supplemental to traditional representative democracy? What are the conditions that give rise to the development of such models and are they equally effective at every scale; i.e., do they only realize their radical potential in particular, local places? A useful text in a broad range of advanced undergraduate courses including social movements, political sociology or geography, political philosophy.
Public spaces are no longer democratic places where all people are
embraced and tolerated, but instead centers of commerce and
consumption. Increasing privatization through collaborative
public/private partnerships between municipalities and local
businesses has transformed such places as Bryant Park and Union
Square in the center of New York City into environments maintained
by video surveillance and police control. Even city squares and
village greens are no longer places for public discussion and
casual loitering, but instead have become filled with regulated
Green Markets, military re-enactments, and seasonal country fairs.
The recent American invasion of Iraq represents the "endgame" of
America's decades-old effort to impose its vision of
globalization-a system dominated by multinational firms and
buttressed by the liberalism of John Locke and Adam Smith. Whereas
the war surely ended Saddam Hussein's regime, the storm of
countervailing forces it unleashed points to another end: that of
America's latest global project.

Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it? This book challenges conventional wisdom - which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of the new middle class tastes and a demand for urban living - to reveal gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late-20th century. Documenting in gritty detail the conflicts that gentrification brings to the new urban "frontiers", the book explores the interconnections of urban policy, eviction and homelessness. The failure of liberal urban policy and the end of the 1980s financial boom have made the end-of-the-century city a darker and more dangerous place. Public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, working people, the poor and the homeless. In the emerging revanchist city, gentrification is a policy of revenge.
