Rescuing Aunt Sally : taking institutional theory seriously in urban politics

Auteur :
LOWNDES, V.

Description :
The sub-discipline of urban politics has been constructed in opposition to a traditional version of institutional theory. Attention has shifted towards the broader influences on local decision-making and to the growing fragmentation of government and the rise of partnerships. The article argues that recent developments call for a reformulated theory of the institutional constraints which urban political processes operate.
