Críticas

"A major theoretical contribution. The concept of arenas will reshape how we think about city politics. Definitely a path breaker."--Clarence Stone, author of Regime Politics: Governing Atlanta, 1946-1988"Most snapshots of urban politics are taken from the 50th floor of a downtown skyscraper. Ferman views urban politics from the streets of the city's neighborhoods. The result is a vivid picture that opens up possibilities for the revival of progressive urban policy and the flowering of democratic civic action."--Todd Swanstrom, author of The Crisis of Growth Politics: Cleveland, Kucinich and the Challenge of Urban Populism "Provocative, lively, and engaging. Ferman begins to fill in the skeletal structure and anatomy missing from many accounts of urban political life."--Richard DeLeon, author of Left Coast City: Progressive Politics in San Francisco, 1975-1991 "This fascinating study offers a powerful challenge to regime theory and its paradigm of urban policymaking."--Ester R. Fuchs, author of Mayors and Money: Fiscal Policy in New York and Chicago "Insightful, clearly written, and theoretically astute. A major step forward in our understanding of neighborhood organizations and urban regimes."--Robert A. Beauregard, author of Voices of Decline: The Post-War Fate of U.S. Cities "Ferman puts her case studies in a theoretical framework that moves beyond most current conceptions. One of the most valuable things I have read on the subject."--Pierre Clavel, author of The Progressive City: Planning and Participation, 1969-1984 "A good example of how comparative urban politics should be done. For all who would like to see neighborhood groups achieve more power and progressive politics succeed, it is essential. this is an important addition to the study of urban politics."--Perspectives on Political Science"An impressive comparative study."--Urban Affairs Review
