Rezensionen

"...a fantastic, empirically rich and theoretically innovative,exploration of the macropolitical realignment and ongoing spatialrestructuring that have taken place since the 1970s. This iscutting-edge urban research: not only students of contemporarycities and their institutional geographies, but municipal policymakers as well as activists concerned with reshaping cities towardsmore democratic and socially just ends will find this collectionindispensable." Margit Mayer, Freie Universität, Berlin

"This thoughtful and thought-provoking book examines thedynamics and consequences of neoliberal policies in the unstablegeography of contemporary cities. The book synthesizes a range ofcurrent explorations of urban space and neoliberal ideology, andends with a new and coherent conceptualization of what is happeningon the ground around us." Peter Marcuse, Professor of UrbanPlanning, Columbia University

"Brenner and Theodore have done an excellent job in bringingtogether an innovative collection of work on urban restructuring -a collection that combines some of the most interesting insightsfrom critical political economy and radical geography to explainimportant aspects of the spatial reconfiguration of capitalismsince the 1970s." Stephen Gill, Professor of Political Science,University of York, Toronto

"Brenner and Theodore have put together a stimulating series ofinvestigations that explore how recent economic strategies, stateagendas and spatial logics produce urban landscapes marked bystriking levels of inequality and social exclusion. This collectionprovides a theoretically sophisticated and politically incisiveexamination of the ways in which restructuring cities have becomecentral to the new geographies of power."
William Sites, University of Chicago, author of RemakingNew York: Primitive Globalization and the Politics of UrbanCommunity

"This is a stimulatimg text, the ambitious designs of whichprovide a rich theoretical resource" Peter Sunley, University ofEdinburgh for Progress in Human Geography

"Exploring 'the spaces of neoliberalism' isclearly a project whose time has come. The current collection ofpapers does an excellent job in laying out some of the substantiveissues involved, the nature of the changes that the neoliberalagenda has conditioned, and the conflicts that its imposition hasgenerated."
