Opis

European cities are on the rise, taking advantage of the opportunities of the European integration and globalization processes. But they also face economic changes, social inequalities, poverty, and a new set of constraints. Taking examples through the European Union, the new book shows the impact of the transformation of the nation states on cities and the change of local societies and local governments. It argues that new modes of urban governance are emerging and that cities are becoming collective actors within the European governance.

Recenzje

...compared to many other books on the same subject, this one clearly stands out for its combination of a coherent theoretical framework with a non-formalistic and in-depth description of the intricacies of multiscalar politics coming together at city level.
