Abstract

In this paper a Marxist theory of the uneven development of capitalist states is used (presented in the previous paper) to help to explain how changing modes of social regulation through the state have influenced struggles over cooperative housing programmes in postwar Canada. It is argued that this process of regulation constitutes an important facet of state development in specific conjunctures. A second facet of uneven state development is also examined: the production of specific experiences of state regulation within localities. Results from case studies of cooperative housing in Toronto are used to illustrate the role of local political relations in shaping people's experiences of state regulation.
