This book focuses on the role of the creative sector in the
governance of urban renewal and economic development initiatives.
Rory Shand examines the ways in which both the top-down nature of
the creative sector, and the bottom-up roles of creative arts
organisations, drive development and engage with local communities
or areas in regeneration projects that target employment, training
and education, as well as social engagement. Underpinning these
projects are governance mechanisms, through delivery, funding and
participation. Drawing on case studies from the UK, Germany and
Canada, Shand compares national creative sector policies and
creative arts bodies engaged in the governance of urban renewal and
development programmes, as well as including a comparative chapter
offering an overview of best and worst practice, which also
examines and summarises the key themes across both theory and
practice. In his concluding remarks, he highlights and discusses
the key challenges posed by governance mechanisms to urban renewal
and economic development programmes and identifies future
comparative case studies in the field. This book will be of great
interest to students of environmental studies, public policy and
politics and geography, as well as being a relevant resource for
practitioners from NGOs, local and national levels of governments
and community projects.
Sporting mega events are playing an increasingly important role in
the governance of community regeneration and development across the
globe. This book examines the ways in which sporting organisations
engage with local communities through projects that target youth,
health or social issues and act as key partners in governance
mechanisms. Showcasing original research to suggest that sporting
organisations, mega events and legacies are now operating as
governing instruments in renewal programmes, it sheds new light on
the role that sport plays in community regeneration and development
on an international scale. Drawing on the interpretivist approach
to governance which bridges theory and practice, the book considers
how relationships between sporting mega events, legacies and local
communities are evolving to foster trust and encourage
participation. With international case studies from the UK, Brazil
and South Africa, it reflects on best practice in relation to
governance structure, funding mechanisms and partnerships. Sport,
Community Regeneration, Governance and Development: A Comparative
Global Perspective is fascinating reading for all students and
scholars with an interest in governance, sport development, sport
policy, sport management or the sociology of sport.

Environmental and sustainability issues are currently stretched by
economic concerns and policy areas such as housing and education
are therefore needed more than ever to help regenerate the social
and urban environment. Governing Sustainable Urban Renewal:
Partnerships in Action uses detailed case studies from the UK,
Germany and USA to explore the effect of institutional design and
modes of governance and evaluates policy outputs, outcomes and best
practice. In doing so, it illustrates where power and decision
making lies in the delivery of urban renewal initiatives and
examines the roles for communities in the governance process. The
analysis offers insight into the formation of partnerships and
networks that can help to overcome many of the obstacles faced in
urban renewal and in the promotion of sustainable development in
core urban areas. Given the increasing commitment of governments
throughout the world to renewal as a means for resolving entrenched
environmental, social and governance problems, this timely new
study should be of interest to students and researchers across a
range of disciplines including environment studies, geography,
public policy, governance and politics, sustainable development,
planning and urban studies.

This book examines examples of rural regeneration projects through
the public administration lens, analysing how governance
arrangements in rural settings work. In particular, the author
focusses on the role of communities, business and tiers of
governance (local, regional, national, and supra national) in terms
of delivery and funding. By drawing on a range of case studies from
the UK, US, Australia and South Africa, the book identifies best
practice in governance, applicable to both academic conceptual
debates and to practitioners engaged in real world governance of
regeneration. While there are substantial political science,
sociology and geography debates within the existing academic
literature around food security, fair trade, urban-rural divides
and supply chains, little has been written on the way in which
governance in comparative global case study settings operates in
achieving or underpinning rural renewal programmes. Through the
inclusion of dedicated sections in each chapter summarising both
the links between academic debate and practice, this book will be
of great interest to researchers and policy-makers in the field of
rural development, and environmental politics and governance in
general.

This book addresses the tendency to mischaracterise liberalism as a
"neoliberal" reform project, arguing that liberal political
philosophy is concerned only to sustain the conditions that make
individual freedom possible. This is illustrated with reference to
the design of pensions. Considered in terms of liberal justice,
retirement systems require redistributive transfers to help the
poor, measures to ensure that retirees are rewarded on their
merits, and provisions that treat everyone with equal dignity and
respect. Rather than presenting liberal pensions as a close
analogue to neoliberalism, this volume highlights their egalitarian
virtues. This book will appeal to scholars of retirement and
pensions, social policy, economics and political philosophy.
