The Cultural Contradictions of Progressive Politics (eBook, PDF)

The Role of Cultural Change and the Global Economy in Local Policymaking

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This work utilizes cultural change and the growth of non-traditional subcultures in explaining how cities seek to shape their futures. It serves as a useful corrective to much of the urban policy literature which relies on economic factors to account for policy outcomes. However, rather than pose a false dichotomy between these two kinds of causal factors, it shows how they work together to produce progressive outcomes.
