Neoliberalism's "market revolution"--realized through practices like privatization, deregulation, fiscal devolution, and workfare programs--has had a transformative effect on contemporary cities. The consequences of market-oriented politics for urban life have been widely studied, but less attention has been given to how grassroots groups, nongovernmental organizations, and progressive city administrations are fighting back. In case studies written from a variety of theoretical and political perspectives, this book examines how struggles around such issues as affordable housing, public services and space, neighborhood sustainability, living wages, workers' rights, fair trade, and democratic governance are reshaping urban political geographies in North America and around the world.

This edited collection examines the intersections between career guidance, social justice and neo-liberalism. Contributors offer an original and global discussion of the role of career guidance in the struggle for social justice and evaluate the field from a diverse range of theoretical positions. Through a series of chapters that positions career guidance within a neoliberal context and presents theories to inform an emancipatory direction for the field, this book raises questions, offers resources and provides some glimpses of an alternative future for work. Drawing on education, sociology, and political science, this book addresses the theoretical basis of career guidance’s involvement in social justice as well as the methodological consequences in relation to career guidance research.

This book examines the changes in educational policy in the U.S. and Britain over the last twenty-five years. Hursh argues that education in the States and Britain has been radically transformed, first through efforts to create curricular standards, more recently through an emphasis on accountability measured by standardized tests, and currently, efforts to introduce market competition and private services into educational systems. Hursh offers an alternative to the neoliberal conception of society and education complete with examples of parents who reject the current emphasis on individual success and schools that promote civic-mindedness.

States and social activists alike face a turbulent global political economy as they seek to confront new challenges with new strategies. The same is true of academic disciplines that seek to track discontinuities in old certainties and analyze emerging agendas, action, identities, and space.In contrast to approaches which argue that the new global order is simply a fact of life, impervious to political challenge, the contributors to this book emphasize that it is highly contested. States retain considerable power, even if much of it has been directed to constructing globalization rather than modifying its effects; and disadvantaged groups, even the most apparently marginalized, have managed to win improvements in their condition. The book draws attention to the state of flux that characterizes contemporary political economy, both in theory and practice. Useful for senior undergraduate and graduate students in political economy, international relations, political science, and sociology.
