Notes on Contributors

Delphine Ancien lectures in urban geography at the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy at University College Dublin. Since completing her PhD at The Ohio State University, her research trajectory has been shaped by interests in the politics underlying the production and reproduction of uneven geographies of development. A particular focus of her work has been on the complex and multi-scalar political geographies of global cities and, increasingly, the variety of neoliberal contexts within which these unfold.

Allan Cochrane is Professor of Urban Studies at the Open University. He writes and researches on issues of urban and regional politics and policy, with a particular interest in the ways in which cities, regions and localities are made up, defined and governed. He is the author of Urban Policy: A Critical Approach (Blackwell 2007) and joint editor of Security: Welfare, Crime and Society (Open University Press 2009).

Kevin R. Cox is Distinguished University Professor of Geography at The Ohio State University. His interests include historical geographical materialism, the politics of local and regional development and South Africa. He is the author of numerous books including Political Geography: Territory, State and Society.

Kim England is Professor of Geography and Adjunct Professor of Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle. She is an urban social and feminist geographer who focuses on care work, critical social policy analysis, labor markets, economic restructuring, and inequalities in North America.

Alistair Frasers work cuts across political, economic, and cultural geography. He has conducted research on land reform in South Africa and connecting this to broader processes of agrarian change in the contemporary period. His current work builds on these interests by examining Irelands place within the global food economy. He has also published work on scalar practices, music, and fieldwork. He is a lecturer in the Department of Geography at the National University of Ireland Maynooth.

Mark Goodwin is Professor of Human Geography and Dean of the College of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Exeter. He has extensive research interests in the areas of local government, local politics and the local state, and has directed several research projects on these themes for a variety of funders. He is the author of many books and papers on these issues, including The Local State and Uneven Development (1988, with Simon Duncan) and Rescaling the State (2012, with Martin Jones and Rhys Jones).

Jamie Gough was employed in economic and employment policy in the Greater London Council before its abolition. He has subsequently taught geography and urban planning at Sydney, Northumbria and Sheffield Universities. He has written on local industry dynamics, labour processes and geography, geographies of economic cycles, urban and regional political economy and governance since the 1970s, neoliberalism and its contradictions, and dialectical theorisation of society and space. His latest book, with Aram Eisenschitz, is Spaces of Social Exclusion (Routledge).

Ron Johnston is a Professor in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. He has been researching in electoral geography since 1970, his interest in the subject being awakened by Kevin Coxs 1969 essay in Progress in Geography. With Charles Pattie he has co-authored many books (including Putting Voters in their Place in 2006) and papers in electoral studies.

Andrew E. G. Jonas is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Hull. After completing his PhD in Ohio under the supervision of Kevin Cox, he taught at Clark University and the University of California at Riverside before moving back to the United Kingdom. His research interests are encompassed by the broad theme of territory, the state and urban politics. He co-edited The Urban Growth Machine: Critical Perspectives Two Decades Later (1999, SUNY Press) and Interrogating Alterity (2010, Ashgate).

Jeff McCarthy is Programme Director at the Centre for Development and Enterprise, Johannesburg. He was appointed Honorary Professor at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg 1989, and served as Professor and University Fellow at the University of KwaZulu-Natal for extended periods in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Charles Pattie is a Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield. He has written on various aspects of political behaviour. Much of that research, carried out with Ron Johnston, has focussed on issues of electoral geography and party campaigning.
