Local Roads to Austerity: Neoliberal Urbanism in Canada
Greg Albo and Carlo Fanelli
The ‘urban question’, as it came to be called in the 1970s, is now a central focus of academic study, state planning and political struggle alike. It is impossible to disentangle these concerns with today’s ‘urbanized world’, in all its myriad of social forms, from meta-cities to ex-urban sprawl, and the political economy of capitalist development. With half of the world’s population now living in urban locales, the UN-Habitat’s World Cities Report 2016 offers a glimpse of the world-historical transformations.
The raw figures are, at times, difficult to fathom: over 500 cities of one million; one in three of the world’s population living in slums; the urban conglomeration centred on Tokyo...

Teachers Lead in the Revolt Against Austerity
Jane McAlevey
In less than three months, rank-and-file teachers and educational support staff in five states -- West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Colorado and Arizona -- have turned the entire country into their classroom. They haven’t just pushed for -- and won -- better pay and working conditions for themselves. They’ve also mounted a direct challenge to decades of bipartisan tax cuts for corporations, helping us all understand what austerity means. And by championing a raft of policy proposals to redistribute wealth away from the 1 per cent and back to the working and middle-class, they’ve shown us how austerity can be defeated.
As Emily Comer, a middle-school Spanish teacher who was a leader in the strikes in...

A New Politics? Movements, Power and Transformation
Adam Churchard
Distrust in political elites and institutions has become a defining element of 21st century politics throughout the west. This trend has been most successfully harnessed by right wing populists, who claim to represent the anger of the masses and represent their ‘true interests’, in the face of a greedy and out of touch liberal political class. While in no way am I attempting to reduce the victories of those such as Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, or Rob Ford, to solely this, appropriating anger toward elites has been critical to their political success. The failure by much of the left to offer a more effective response to these trends has been disheartening (to say the least)....
