Article: Interrogating post-democratization: Reclaiming egalitarian political spaces

Just published: Erik Swyngedouw (University of Manchester), "Interrogating post-democratization: Reclaiming egalitarian political spaces" ("Political Geography", 30 [7], September 2011: pp. 370-80).

Quote: "There is now an emerging body of thought on the ... erosion of democracy and of the public sphere, and the contested emergence of a post-political or post-democratic socio-spatial configuration. I situate and explore this alleged 'post-democratization' in light of recent post-Althusserian political thought. ... In the concluding part, perspectives for re-vitalising the political possibilities of a spatialized emancipatory project are presented."
