Collaborative Governance Under Austerity: An Eight-case comparative study

久久精品 led an ESRC-funded international study of austerity governance in cities (Ref: ES/L012898/1).  The project, funded from April 2015 until July 2018, explored austerity governance in eight cities: Athens, Baltimore, Barcelona, Dublin, Leicester, Melbourne, Montreal and Nantes. Finding ways to collaborate with citizens has always been important for central and local governments. Our study informs academics, politicians and activists about the different ways in which cities interpret austerity and attempt to create coalitions to govern and resist the spatio-temporally differentiated crises they experience. The project is part of the ESRC's Urban Transformations portfolio, seeking to assess critically and understand the impact and significance of transformations for the welfare and wellbeing of urban citizens across the globe.
