Government Discourse And Housing (Urban and Regional Planning and Development Series)

While post-structuralist approaches to social theory have been prevalent within many fields of social inquiry since its emergence in the late 1970s, to date post-structuralism hasn't been significantly adopted when examining government institutions and practices. This volume uses post-structuralist theory to develop a framework for the analysis of government institutions and policy and applies this the study of government housing policy in Western nations. The book outlines the implications of post-structuralist analysis of housing theory and practice for future developments in both housing theory and government housing policy in Western nations.
