Decentring Urban Governance: Narratives, Resistance and Contestation: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Decentring Urban Governance: Narratives, Resistance and Contestation" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Decentring Urban Governance seeks to rethink governance not as a particular state formation, but as the diverse policies emerging associated with the impact of modernist social science on policy making, considering the diverse meanings that inspire governing practices across time, space, and policy sectors in urban context.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book goes beyond neoliberalism, and is interested in other webs of meaning through which actors encounter, interpret, and evaluate social science, which have received less analytical attention. All these different webs of meaning elite narratives, social science, and local traditions influence patterns of action. The book creates an analytical space by which to consider situated agency and localised resistance to the discourses and policies of political elites, including the myriad ways in which local actors have resisted practices of governance on the ground.This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of urban governance, governance and more broadly to the social sciences, housing, social policy, law and welfare studies.

Decentring Urban Governance

Decentring Urban Governance seeks to rethink governance, not as a particular state formation, but as the diverse policies emerging that are associated with the impact of modernist social science on policy-making, considering the diverse meanings that inspire governing practices across time, space and policy sectors in urban context.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book goes beyond neoliberalism, and is interested in other webs of meaning through which actors encounter, interpret and evaluate social science, which have received less analytical attention. All these different webs of meaning elite narratives, social science and local traditions influence patterns of action. The book creates an analytical space in which to consider situated agency and localised resistance to the discourses and policies of political elites, including the myriad ways in which local actors have resisted practices of governance on the ground.

This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of urban governance, governance and more broadly to the social sciences, housing, social policy, law and welfare studies.
