The Oxford Handbook of Urban Politics is an authoritative volume on
an established subject in political science and the academy more
generally: urban politics and urban studies. The editors are all
recognized experts, and are well connected to the leading scholars
in urban politics. The handbook covers the major themes that
animate the subfield: the politics of space and place; power and
governance; urban policy; urban social organization; citizenship
and democratic governance; representation and institutions;
approaches and methodology; and the future of urban politics. Given
the caliber of the editors and proposed contributors, the volume
sets the intellectual agenda for years to come.

How have local economic conditions been affected by the emergence
of a global economy? What changes, if any, have local political
authorities made to counterbalance the new emphasis on world
interests? Comprehensive and timely, The New Localism answers these
and other vital questions by exploring local political
restructuring in the face of massive global economic change.
Prominent urban scholars cover the privatization of local politics,
the emergence of local economic and social activism, and increased
competition--on both local and national levels. This important
volume examines various levels of development in such diverse
political settings as the United States, the United Kingdom,
Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. The New Localism is a
must read for students and scholars of urban studies, comparative
politics, political science, third world development, planning,
public administration, and sociology. "Goetz and Clarke's book
brings a useful perspective to this literature, not so much because
of its theoretical originality, but for its didactic value. It is a
straightforward presentation of cases of urban restructuring, well
integrated within a common conceptual framework labelled "new
localism" --Canadian Journal of Urban Research
