The paper compares attitudes in Greenfield sites to those in urban infill developments, Brownfield sites. The Greenfield study site is further sub-divided into low and higher-density developments. Through a range of interviewees and focus groups across a diversity of socio-economic backgrounds, actual attitudes to community and to sustainability are elicited. The study uses a twin comparative method, first comparing and contrasting the lowand medium-density Greenfield sites, and then comparing and contrasting the Greenfield sites with the Brownfield site, with a particular focus on how urban infill developments are perceived as affecting pre-existing community networks. Implications are drawn for urban planners and policy makers, especially in relati...

This thesis examines the relationship between these concepts in the light of theories of revolutions. The types of revolution analysed are socialist revolutions, defined as Marxistinspired regime transformations accompanied by widespread revolt from below. The argument advanced is that the origins and development of socialist movements to the position of state power is more complex than the dominant structuralist paradigm assumes. No model of socialist revolutions can be adequate without combining long-term structuralist considerations of social process with short-to-medium purposive factors such as political mobilisation, organisation and ideology. This thesis adopts a comparative historical analysis to support this claim. Using two apparently dissimilar cases, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua, it is argued that despite spatial and temporal differ...

The project examines the effect of technological change and modern production philosophies upon the relationship between clients and suppliers within industry sectors. As the emphasis on quality becomes a cornerstone of entrepreneurial survival and success both process and product innovation take on an increasing significance. The project hypothesizes that these changes will have far-reaching consequences upon the interaction between leading, or 'core' ,firms and their manufacturing suppliers. Within the overall context of the project, the purpose of this paper is definitional. It is argued that within the clothing industry chain (or filiere) large retail chains are 'core' firms promoting technological and managerial change among manufacturing ...
