What is Beyond City Limits: Urban Policy and Economic Reconstructuring in Comparative Perspective (Conflicts In Urban & Regional Development) about?
This book challenges the notion that there is a single, global process of economic restructuring to which cities must submit. The studies in this volume compare urban development in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, demonstrating that there is significant variety in urban economic restructuring. The contributors emphasize that the economic forces transforming cities from industrial concentrations to post industrial service centers do not exist apart from politics: all nation-states are heavily involved in the restructuring process. John R. Logan is Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York at Albany. Todd Swanstrom is Associate Professor of Political Science at the State University of New York at Albany and the author of "The Crisis of Growth Politics: Cleveland, Kucinich, and the Challenge of Urban Populism (Temple)".
