The Oxford Handbook of Urban Politics is an authoritative volume on an established subject in political science and the academy more generally: urban politics and urban studies. The editors are all recognized experts, and are well connected to the leading scholars in urban politics. The book covers the major themes that animate the subfield: the politics of space and place; power and governance; urban policy; urban social organization; citizenship and democratic governance; representation and institutions; approaches and methodology; and the future of urban politics. Given the caliber of the editors and proposed contributors, the volume should set the intellectual agenda for years to come.

Karen Mossberger is Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Graduate Studies, University of Illinois-Chicago; Peter John is Hallsworth Chair of Governance and Director of the Institute for Political and Economic Governance at the University of Manchester; and Susan Clarke is Professor of Political Science, University of Colorado
