Comparative Urban Politics

Ronald K. Vogel, ron.vogel@louisville.edu (University of Louisville)

Forces of globalization are reshaping the city’s economy, politics, society, and territory. Cities can no longer be understood solely within a national context but should be examined within an international and comparative framework. The Comparative Urban Politics related group welcomes panel and paper proposals addressing any aspect of the politics and governance of cities in a comparative context. Panel proposals that include perspectives from both the developed and developing world and have broad appeal across the discipline will be favored. Since we only have one panel on the APSA program, it is advisable to submit your proposals to other Sections as well.
