Description

Explore the complex state of urban democracy in the modern era with Recapturing Democracy by Mark Purcell. Published by Routledge, this book provides a synoptic introduction to how political neoliberalism and economic globalization affect contemporary Western cities. Instead of focusing solely on procedural democracy like electoral politics, this work examines substantive democracy. This means looking at how citizens can actually influence social justice, material well-being, and economic equality. Through an original argument supported by various case studies, Purcell examines the struggle for alternative urban futures. It is a necessary read for those studying urban and land use planning, political science, or the social impacts of global economic shifts on city life.
