In Reconstructing Urban Regime Theory, editor Mickey Lauria presents a challenging argument for the need to reconceptualize urban regime's middle-level abstraction by interpreting it through the lens of the higher-level abstraction of regulationist theory. The noted contributors to this volume propose stronger conceptual linkages between local agents and institutions, regime transformation, and the restructuring of urban space.  The blend of empirical and case-study chapters provide an excellent mix of theory and practice that makes Reconstructing Urban Regime Theory well suited to a broad spectrum of upper-level undergraduate courses covering urban studies, political science, sociology, and geography as well as a rich resource for academics and researchers in these fields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction - Mickey Lauria    Reconstructing Urban Regime Theory PART ONE: CONCEPTUALIZING THE REGULATION OF URBAN REGIMES Concrete Research, Urban Regimes, and Regulation Theory - Mark Goodwin and Joe Painter Spatial Structures of Regulation and Urban Regimes - Marshall M A Feldman A Neo-Gramscian Approach to the Regulation of Urban Regimes - Bob Jessop    Accumulation Strategies, Hegemonic Projects, and Governance PART TWO: RECONSTRUCTING URBAN REGIME ABSTRACTIONS City Politics in an Era of Globalization - Christopher Leo Governance, Urban Regime Analysis, and the Politics of Local Economic Development - Kevin R Cox Regulation, Regime, and Practice in Urban Politics - Joe Painter PART THREE: CONCRETE RESEARCH: REGULATING URBAN POLITICS IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY Coalition, Market and State - Cynthia Horan    Postwar Development Politics in Boston City Planning and the Postwar Regime in Philadelphia - Robert A Beauregard Cleveland the `Comeback City′ - W Dennis Keating    The Politics of Redevelopment and Sports Stadiums amidst Decline Regulating Suburban Politics - Andrew E G Jonas    `Suburban-Defense Transition′, Institutional Capacities, and Territorial Reorganization in Southern California PART FOUR: REGULATING URBAN REGIMES Regulating Urban Regimes - Mickey Lauria    Reconstruction or Impasse","brand":"SAGE Publications, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018427400535,"sku":"9780761901518","price":92.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761901518.jpg?v=1750776839","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reconstructing-urban-regime-theory-9780761901518","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
