Description
"In this study, Sophie Body-Gendrot provides a comparative anlaysis of new types of welfare and social maintenance policies of states and of cities in charge of strategic functions in the global economy. Focusing on concrete urban settings in the USA and in France, the book examines the relationship between national and local decision-makers, including their policy rhetorics meant to check moral panics over juvenile crime and violent events. Beyond such institutional responses, it examines the production of alternative norms and of new forms of politics displayed by the powerless in marginalized neighborhoods."--Jacket.
First Sentence
The purpose of this chapter is to test the possible correlation between the impact of the globalization of the economy on the city, the growth of inequalities and of power conflicts, and the violence and crime which may ensue in specific segregated urban areas.
