regulating the new rural spaces the Uneven Development of land
Journal of Rural Studies, 1993Co-Authors: Philip Lowe, Terry Marsden, Richard Munton, Jonathan Murdoch, Andrew FlynnAbstract:With the demise of agricultural productivism, that set of economic and political arrangements which made food production the overriding aim of rural policy, new forms of regulation have come into existence. These are linked to new patterns of Development in rural areas which have arisen as economic actors seek to exploit the opportunities presented by the crisis in agriculture. Both Development and its regulation have become localised — that is, detached from the national regime associated with productivism. This is leading to increased differentiation. We examine three land Development sectors — minerals, farm building conversion and golf — to illustrate how the processes of differentiation are driven by a variety of economic, political and social actors. These are assessed using the notion of ‘arenas of representation’. Two arenas are identified — those of the market and regulation — showing how Uneven Development of the countryside can be understood as arising from action-in-context. Such differentiation, or the emergence of new rural spaces, is inevitable in the post-productivist era.

Contesting Uneven Development: The political geography of natural gas rents in Peru and Bolivia
Political Geography, 2020Co-Authors: Felipe IrarrázavalAbstract:Abstract Political and academic debates about the distribution of resource rents to producing areas have addressed the issue of whether or not the transfers unleash conflicts. While this kind of debate is valid, the present paper argues that such a discussion is missing the point regarding the processes behind said types of conflicts, as well as how such conflicts are framed at the sub-national political geography of the state. By more deeply exploring these dimensions, the argument of this paper is that the production of Uneven Development within sub-national areas is crucial for understanding the above-mentioned conflicts and how the central state internalises those conflicts, producing new political geographies of rent distribution. As such, different territorial discourses of autonomy emerge along with Uneven Development, but their capacity to reach institutional autonomy is grounded on the spatial politics of each state. Empirically, this paper analyses how natural gas rents are distributed to sub-national producing areas in Peru and Bolivia, and how the production of Uneven Development through natural gas rents at sub-national level re-activated previous territorial demands for autonomy, which were internalised by central states in different ways.

Rethinking mechanism and process in the geographical analysis of Uneven Development
Dialogues in Human Geography, 2019Co-Authors: Henry Wai-chung YeungAbstract:Speaking directly to economic and political geographers working on Uneven Development, this article critically examines the deployment of two key concepts, mechanism and process, as analytical tool...

The illegal, the illicit and new geographies of Uneven Development
Territory Politics Governance, 2018Co-Authors: Ray HudsonAbstract:There have been significant changes in the geographies of Uneven Development and a considerable literature documenting these, at varying spatial scales. There is, however, a significant absence in ...

Uneven Development, Socio-Spatial Polarization and Political Responses
Understanding Geographies of Polarization and Peripheralization, 2015Co-Authors: Ray HudsonAbstract:Although the causal mechanisms and processes are specific to different forms of societal organization, Uneven Development is a characteristic common to more advanced forms of societal Development. Uneven Development is therefore integral to the crisis-prone Development of capitalist economies. From the outset, such economies were and continue to be characterized by socio-spatial Uneven Development and consequent polarization at various scales. The combined and Uneven character of capitalist Development results in both the social production of space and growing qualitative as well as quantitative differentiation between places within those socio-spatial structures. Growing economic polarization affects social conditions, while, in turn, the evolution of the economic Development process is influenced by these socially produced spatial differences. As a result, national states (and now the EU) see it as necessary to seek to limit socio-spatial polarization and keep inequality within ‘acceptable’ limits.

European Integration and New Forms of Uneven Development: But Not the End of Territorially Distinctive Capitalisms in Europe
European Urban and Regional Studies, 2003Co-Authors: Ray HudsonAbstract:Historically, capitalism developed territorially specific forms in Europe. The project of the European Union can be seen as one that seeks to erode this specificity. There is evidence of a tendency towards regulatory convergence but also of counter-tendencies, partly a product of the contradictory character of EU expansion and deepening economic integration. The end product has been a multiscalar system of governance and regulation, conjoining the EU, national and sub-national scales. There is also some evidence of convergence in national economic structures and performance. However, there is no evidence of convergence in economic performance and structures at sub-national levels. The legacies of past Uneven Development, allied to the effects of intensified market competition as companies seek to exploit differences between places, have produced new forms of Uneven Development.

The Social Regulation of Uneven Development: ‘Regulatory Deficit’, England's South East, and the Collapse of Thatcherism:
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1995Co-Authors: Jamie Peck, Adam TickellAbstract:The evolving methodology of regulation theory is explored, with particular reference to the problematic of Uneven Development. With a concentration on the subnational scale, the notion of localised modes of regulation is critically examined. With a view to operationalising some of these regulationist concepts, an analysis of the geographical contradictions of Thatcherism is presented. Thatcherism, it is suggested, should be interpreted as a failed or failing regulatory experiment, the contradictions of which are manifest in a variety of ways, including in the geographical sphere—in the collapse of the economy of the South East of England (Thatcherism's ‘heartland’ region) and in Britain's continuing crisis of Uneven Development. There is scope, it is argued, further to spatialise regulation theory through methodological refinement, and through analyses of regional restructuring and crisis.

Local modes of social regulation? Regulation theory, thatcherism and Uneven Development
Geoforum, 1992Co-Authors: Jamie Peck, Adam TickellAbstract:Abstract This paper examines processes of local social regulation, critically deploying a regulationist perspective on the political economy of Uneven Development. It is argued that the key issue of social regulation has been neglected in much recent work on economic restructuring. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for analysing social regulation at the subnational scale, applying this in a preliminary investigation of Uneven Development under Thatcherism.
