The concept of territorial stigma, as developed in large part by
the urban sociologist Loic Wacquant, contends that certain groups
of people are devalued, discredited and tainted by the reputation
of the place where they reside. This book argues that this theory
is more relevant and comprehensive than others that have been used
to frame and understand ostracised neighbourhoods and their
populations (for example segregation and the racialisation of
place) and allows for an inclusive interpretation of the many
spatial facets of marginalisation processes. Advancing conceptual
understanding of how territorial stigmatisation and its components
unfold materially as well as symbolically, this book presents a
wide range of case studies from the Global South and Global North,
including an examination of recent policy measures that have been
applied to deal with the consequences of territorial
stigmatisation. It introduces readers to territorial
stigmatisation's strategic deployment but also illustrates, in a
number of regional contexts, the attachments that residents at
times develop for the stigmatised places in which they live and the
potential counter-forces that are developed against territorial
stigmatisation by a variety of different groups.

in support of world priorities in biodiversity. It is based on
papers presented at a workshop held in London in July 1996,
organized by CAB International with the support of the
International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS), International
Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO), IUCN - The World
Conservation Union and the United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP). Contributors include leading players from organizations
concerned with conserving and managing biodiversity, based in
Europe and the USA as well as developing countries.
