Bio:
For many years Dennis Judd has been a leading contributor to the literature on urban political economy, urban economic development, national urban policy, and urban revitalization. He brings this research together in his leading textbook in urban politics, City Politics: Private Power and Public Policy (Longman, 2005, 5th ed.) Recently he has pioneered in scholarly research on urban tourism. As part of this continuing research program he has co-edited The Tourist City (with Susan S. Fainstein; Yale University Press, 1999), a book that described the global competition for tourism by cities. Through in-depth case studies, The Infrastructure of Play (edited; M.E. Sharpe, 2003) shows how the new infrastructure of tourism has transformed the physical environment of cities throughout the world. Globalization and the New Politics of Urban Development (edited; American Behavioral Scientist, Sage Publications, April 2003), describes the political and policy impacts of the new tourism economies. Cities and Visitors: Regulating Cities, Markets, and City Space (edited with Lily M. Hoffman and Susan S. Fainstein; Blackwell, 2004) advances a comprehensive theory of tourism development that integrates social science research on this important topic.
