دانلود کتاب Theories of Urban Politics

This comprehensive textbook provides an overview of the main theories which structure debate about urban politics. The editors have assembled internationally respected scholars to provide a clear and coherent account, organized around four major questions.Part one looks at issues of power and examines both traditional and more recent theories of power in cities.Part two asks about the nature of public bureaucracy and those officials that have a leadership role within city government.Part three examines the way that citizens are involved in the process of urban politics.The final part seeks to put urban politics in context in terms of the social economic environment and the complex architecture of government in which it has to operate.Within this framework, this book offers an excellent survey of the current state of theoretical debate in urban political science, and will be essential reading for students and academics in urban studies and local government.
