In
this colloquium presentation Dennis Judd proposes
that regimes constitute only one of several strategies
of governance in American cities. Clarence Stone, the
main architect of the regimes model, has recently attempted
to apply the concept of civic capacity to educational
policymaking. Dennis Judd demonstrates how civic capacity
can be transformed into a general theory of urban power.
Dennis
R. Judd has published extensively on urban economic
development, national urban policy, and urban regeneration
in Europe and the United States. For some years he has
been engaged in a sustained research program on tourism
as an instrument for urban revitalization. This presentation
is based on a book he is co-authoring, Civic Capacity
and Urban Power: Governing St. Louis, 1952-2005. |
