Parker, S. and Atkinson, R.G. orcid.org/0000-0001-9801-9380 (2020) Disorderly cities and the policy-making field: the 1981 English riots and the management of urban decline. British Politics, 15 (2). pp. 160-177. ISSN 1746-918X
Abstract
This article develops a framework for understanding policy-making responses to the crisis of the post-industrial urban economy in Britain through an exploration of the policy event of the 1981 English riots and the policy-making field that surrounded it in which the rival positions of ‘managed decline’ and concerted urban regeneration became reconciled through a roll-out of neoliberal governance mechanisms. The value of this framework for contemporary analyses of urban policy in the context of social marginality and uneven economic development is discussed in the conclusion.
