The market as a driver of social policies: A political economy of urban requalification
In a context of scarce public resources, the use of private actors has become an increasingly widespread public policy management modality. Liberalisation, privatisation, disengagement of the State: all these dynamics point to a growing role for private logic and actors in public action in Europe, including social policies.
Empirically, my research focuses on urban renewal policies in two European cities: Paris and Berlin. It analyses the emergence of a market mobilization imperative in two countries with a long history of public interventionism. It aims to understand how, gradually, public, local and national actors have put in place instruments to mobilize private actors in order to revitalize neighbourhoods in difficulty.
At what price do private actors take over from public actors? What are the effects of these marketing processes? How far do they disrupt the structuring and governance of these territories?
