{"product_id":"the-politics-of-location-andrew-kirby-9781138961241","title":"The Politics of Location: An Introduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, originally published in 1982, begins with an examination of space, and its role in the process of public provision and collective consumption. Variations in provision are linked to the Weberian notion of social status and political struggles over consumption and externality issues. Health care and education are considered in spatial contexts, and the whole basis of the electoral system is also discussed together with geographic underpinnings. In each case emphasis is placed on the jurisdictional organization of space by public bodies. The author examines the various examples of spatial cleavages, in which political events are redirected by issues such as nuclear power, airport location, road construction and urban renewal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Kirby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138961248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138961241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Andrew Kirby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153457852671,"sku":"9781138961241","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8468bf4-a09d-421a-92d4-66a9282267d5.jpg?v=1770783609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-location-andrew-kirby-9781138961241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
