Abstract
Abstract The experience of the 1980s has surely demonstrated how closely urban development in Australia is enfolded within political activity at national and local levels (Minnery, 1983; Jones, 1985; Yiftachel, Alexander and McManus, 1991; Low and Moser 1991; Caulfield, 1991; Hedgecock, Hillier and Wood, 1991). Moreover, in a wider and more global sense, the connection between polity and economy seems to be shaping up as a key agenda for the 1990s (e.g. Dahl, 1985; Jessop, 1990). Yet there has been little debate on a theoretical level about the politics of urban development in Australia. Politics is often described or assumed but rarely theorized (but see Low, 1991). Without a theoretical nexus, formed through dialogue between and among theoretical positions and their underlying assumptions and postulates, there can be no understanding of what is really happening here or how current Australian politics – in this case urban politics – resembles or differs from the politics of other places and other times.
