Regional Politics: America in a Post-City Age

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Savitch, H. V. / Vogel, Ronald K., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Bringing together the thoughts of outstanding contributors, Regional Politics presents a comparative study on the emerging regional nature of local and urban politics. Recent studies tend to focus on the politics and power of internal cities or on suburban areas that have gained incredible strength in the past decade. However, this important volume explores how politics work in the extended metropolis or "functional city"--which includes and surrounds the urban core and whose economy, society, and politics are integrally joined. Contributors center on detailed case studies of 10 cities with a look at the development of regional patterns, an analysis of the impact regionalism has on urban politics, and an outline for an overall approach. The comprehensive and state-of-the-art expertise presented in this volume makes Regional Politics ideal for planners, policymakers, academics, researchers, and students in the areas of urban politics, state and local government, and public policy.

Beijing Welcomes You: Unveiling the Capital City of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Scocca, Tom, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, A definitive, and highly entertaining, account of contemporary Beijing, the undisputed capital of the twenty-first century. Within the past decade, Beijing has debuted as the defining city of the now and foreseeable future, and China as the ascendant global power. Beijing is the ultimate representation of China's political and cultural capital, of its might-and threat. For so long, the city was closed off to the world, literally built around the Forbidden City, the icon of all that was ominous about China. But now, the country is eager to show off its new openness, its glory and magnanimity, and Beijing is its star. When Tom Scocca arrived in -an American eager to see another culture-Beijing was looking toward welcoming the world to its Olympics four years later, and preparations were in full swing to create a renewed city. Scocca talked to the scientists tasked with changing the weather; interviewed designers and architects churning out projects; checked out the campaign to stop public spitting; documented the planting of trees, the rerouting of traffic, the demolition of the old city, and the construction of the new metropolis. "Beijing Welcomes You" is a glimpse into the future and an encounter with an urban place we do not yet fully comprehend, and the superpower it is essential we get to know better.

Flawed Succession: Russia's Power Transfer Crises

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ra'anan, Uri / Conquest, Robert, PUBLISHER: Lexington Books, In four highly critical sections, Professor Uri Ra'anan and his authoritative contributors analyze the state of Russia's power transfer crises throughout time. This collection takes aim at Russia's unpredictable leadership changes and consequent crises that result from the absence of a mechanism for legitimate succession. Contributors analyze this problem beginning with power struggles in the Kremlin immediately following Josef Stalin's death, and formalizing conclusions throughout Putin's ascent. Shedding new light on Russia's systematic flaw and resulting instability, this work is essential for practitioners and students of policy, especially as that country reemerges as an international power and Putin shows disconcerting tendencies to revert to authoritarian and imperial habits.

Building Gotham: Civic Culture and Public Policy in New York

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Revell, Keith D., PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, In , the New York state legislature created Greater New York, a metropolis of three and a half million people, the second largest city in the world, and arguably the most diverse and complex urban environment in history. In this far-ranging study, Keith D. Revell shows how experts in engineering, law, architecture, public health, public finance, and planning learned to cope with the daunting challenges of collective living on this new scale. Engineers applied new technologies to build railroad tunnels under the Hudson River and construct aqueducts to quench the thirst of a city on the verge of water famine. Sanitarians attempted to clean up a harbor choked by millions of gallons of raw sewage. Economists experimented with new approaches to financing urban infrastructure. Architects and planners wrestled with the problems of skyscraper regulation and regional growth. These issues of city-building and institutional change involved more than the familiar push and pull of interest groups or battles between bosses, reformers, immigrants, and natives. Revell details the ways that technical values -- distinctive civic culture of expertise -- helped reshape ideas of community, generate new centers of public authority, and change the physical landscape of New York City. Building Gotham thus demonstrates how a group of ambitious professionals overcame the limits of traditional means of decision-making and developed the city-building practices that enabled New York to become America's first mega-city.

Russia's Fate Through Russian Eyes: Perspectives of a New

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Isham, Heyward / Shklyar, Natan M. / Matlock, Jack F., Jr., PUBLISHER: Westview Press, Blowing the cobwebs from antiquated notions of Russia as an enigmatic nation doomed to tragic failure, twenty-eight articulate and entrepreneurial young Russian men and women--representatives of a new generation who came of age during and after the fall of the Soviet Union--record the hopes, fears, and triumphs of recent years. These trailblazers share stories of the very specific actions they and others like them have taken to move Russia toward a more civilized, responsible, and vibrant society. They describe their efforts to reshape the Russian state, cope with the new economic rules, strive toward a rule of law, build a civil society, and preserve Russian culture while modernizing its educational system. They paint a picture of a society borne up in its many travails by a stubborn will to survive and by a capacity to adapt ingeniously and swiftly to changes, both welcome and unwelcome.
