rethinking urban Entrepreneurialism bristol green capital in it for good
European Planning Studies, 2020Co-Authors: Aksel Ersoy, Wendy LarnerAbstract:Urban Entrepreneurialism is generally characterized by a series of spectacular events, organized and orchestrated by powerful actors. Recently, this has given rise to a series of urban policy agendas that have become ubiquitous across the world. This paper draws attention to an emergent form of urban Entrepreneurialism that privileges environmentalism, social inclusion and grassroots creativity. Based on the 2015 European Green Capital process taking place in Bristol in the United Kingdom, this paper shows how the European Green Capital Award is being used to engage a large and diverse range of organizations in the name of the Bristol Green Capital Partnership. We argue that rather than reiterating narratives of urban Entrepreneurialism as dominated by narrow economic agendas and being socially exclusionary, this form of urban Entrepreneurialism encourages us to look at cities as places that can be coproduced in context-sensitive ways by multiple entities. The paper is informed by primary data gathered through fieldwork conducted over 2014 and 2015, including primary documents, key informant interviews and participant observation.

A national systems view of university Entrepreneurialism: Inferences from comparison of the German and US experience
Research Policy, 2009Co-Authors: Mark Lehrer, Phillip Christopher Nell, Lisa GärberAbstract:Abstract Examining parallels in the long-term evolution of the German and US university systems, this paper formulates hypotheses about the rise and decline of university Entrepreneurialism at the national level. Three macro-level antecedents of university Entrepreneurialism are identified: (1) decentralized competition; (2) latitude in mission and revenue mix; (3) a nationwide, diversified bidding system for the funding of large-scale university-based research. Of these, the third is real lynchpin of university Entrepreneurialism. Arguing for a multidimensional understanding of such Entrepreneurialism (i.e. beyond just the commercialization of scientific discoveries), the paper identifies three developments within universities emanating from a favorable national environment: (1) organizational innovations for achieving economies of scope; (2) an institutionalized capacity for strategic selection of research foci; and (3) a capacity to contribute to the development of new industries. The analysis suggests that as national university systems grow and run into cost containment problems, political pressures for reform increase, leading to system homogenization; system homogenization weakens the contextual sources of Entrepreneurialism and triggers a process of decline.

Local Entrepreneurialism and State Rescaling in Turkey
Urban Studies, 2009Co-Authors: Mustafa Kemal BayırbağAbstract:The paper examines the links between the rise of local Entrepreneurialism and state rescaling in a neo-liberal context. The thrust of the article is that the agency of localities, increasingly manifested in the form of local Entrepreneurialism, emerges through the political activism of a local bourgeoisie, in pursuit of a multiscalar local accumulation strategy. The article focuses on the spatial interest representation strategies of the local bourgeoisie introducing the concept of scalar strategies of representation, to examine in what ways the broader state rescaling process contributes to the formation of local agency and how this agency influences state rescaling. The city of Gaziantep, Turkey, constitutes its empirical focus.

Resisting urban Entrepreneurialism: place-based politics in the production of collective identity
Urban Policy and Research, 2003Co-Authors: Susan Oakley, Fiona VerityAbstract:Urban Entrepreneurialism reflects recent changes to economic and political sensibility and emphasises the regulation of urban space in ways that promote market-based approaches to the restructuring of the built environment. The contradictions and controversy surrounding the Mt Barker foundry and the Pelican Point power station in South Australia provide an opportunity to revisit the place of urban social movements in this 'entrepreneurial' politic of a state Liberal government in the late 1990s.
