Article Abstract:

The depiction of U.K. geography as uniformly more playful, encultured, and post-structural than the harder, more empirical and policy-relevant depiction of U.S. geography is clearly an oversimplification, but there are institutional pressures that might encourage such tendencies. Those funding geographical inquiry in the U.S. are accused of sidelining qualitative geography in favor of statistical and technologically driven geographies.

Toward a contingent urban neoliberalism

Article Abstract:

The idea of contingent urban neoliberalism, which British and American urban geographers are trying to come to terms with, is explored. This political project is best conceptualized as a series of differentiated, keenly negotiating, processural, and space-mobilizing constructions in new political and economic times.
