The past two decades have seen social geography in the throes of a major theoretical and methodological flux. Its traditional descriptive identity has been challenged by the flurry of work on Marxism, feminism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, and social and cultural theory more generally. The purpose of this Reader is to capture some of these major intellectual shifts of the last twenty years and to examine the nature of contemporary social geography. Chris Hamnett's rich selection of articles covers a wide range of issues and highlights the variety of methods and theoretical approaches.

Unequal City examines some of the dramatic economic and social changes that have taken place in London over the last forty years. It describes how London's changing industrial structure, particularly the shift from an industrial to a services-based city, and the associated changes in occupational class structure and in the structure of earnings and incomes, have worked through to the housing market and the gentrification of large parts of inner London.Unequal City relates to the literature on global cities. The book has a wide sweep and summarises a wide range of literature on occupational and industrial change, earnings and incomes and the housing market and gentrification. It provides a wealth of original data, figures, maps and tables and will be a valuable reference for anyone interested in the changes that have reshaped the social structure of London in recent decades.

<p>Privatization has spread worldwide during the 1980s and 1990s, reshaping the balance between state and market in many countries. This book provides a comparative political analysis of privatization in the UK, United States and France. The authors argue that privatization is a political phenomenon and should be analyzed as such, rather than as an economic response to the growth of the state and the cost of state provision. The book will be of interest to students of politics, economics, public policy and business studies, as well as to policy-makers and business consultants.</p>
