Domesticating Neo-Liberalism cover

Based on in-depth research in Poland and Slovakia, Domesticating Neo-Liberalism addresses how we understand the processes of neo-liberalization in post-socialist cities.

  • Builds upon a vast amount of new research data
  • Examines how households try to sustain their livelihoods at particularly dramatic and difficult times of urban transformation
  • Provides a major contribution to how we theorize the geographies of neo-liberalism
  • Offers a conclusion which informs discussions of social policy within European Union enlargement

 

“Thanks to its nuanced and multi-layered take on the geographical dimensions of employment, home, land and food provision in late capitalism, this monograph will become essential reading for scholars in the domains of post-socialist area studies, geography, economics, anthropology and sociology, in addition to social, urban and economic development policy practitioners.”  (Royal Geographical Society, 2012)

"This book makes a valuable contribution to the theorization of neoliberalization by extending it to the realm of the everyday household economy. It is grounded in rich empirical research in working class neighbourhoods in Bratislava and Krakow and argues that households mitigate and tolerate the pernicious social costs of neoliberal reform to achieve social reproduction."
