Description

Understand the complex nature of modern politics through the lens of urban environments. In Politics of Urbanism: Seeing Like a City, Magnusson explores why viewing the world through the eyes of a city, rather than a state, is essential for grasping contemporary political structures. This work connects the ideas of major theorists including Weber, Wirth, Hayek, Jacobs, Sennett, and Foucault. By examining these perspectives, the book explains how the city functions as a unique form of political order. It looks at how complicated patterns of government and self-government emerge from proximate diversity, both on a local and global scale. Readers will gain insight into the multiplicity of authorities that define urban life. The text explores how sovereignty is often claimed but remains infinitely deferred within these spaces. This book provides a framework for making sense of the diverse authorities and self-governing patterns that shape our modern world.
