Soundings a journal of politics and culture |
Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey and Michael Rustin (editors)
Editorial
Issue 25 of Soundings includes further contributions to the pressing debate
on the prospects for the left in view of the new lows reached by New Labour;
it also includes Alan Fountain on the future of the BBC as the government
warms up for a further round of marketisation in broadcasting; Ivor Gaber
on spin post-Phillis; and George Irvin on the probable deflationary effects
of current EU neoliberal policies; together with poems and reviews, and
an appreciation of the much-missed Paul Hirst.
There is also a group of articles looking at the relationship between places and politics: Ash Amin, Doreen Massey and Nigel Thrift argue for new ways of thinking about the whole question of regional policy; Gerry Hassan and Hugh Mackay write from Scotland and Wales respectively about politics in these still developing arenas; Geoff Andrews looks at the long intertwining of geography, history and politics in Sicily; and Francisco Domínguez writes on the growing challenge to neoliberalism in Latin America.
