- New Approaches to Governance and Rule in Urban Europe Since 1500 was one of four volumes arising from the network ‘Urban Agency: Setting the Research Agenda of Urban History’, funded by the Flemish Research Council 2011-2015 and based at Antwerp. The Urban Agency network included the centres of urban history at Antwerp, Brussels, Leicester and Darmstadt. Each of the four volumes was published under the guiding editorship of Simon Gunn and Bert De Munck, directors of the Centres for Urban History at Leicester and Antwerp respectively. Designed to reflect the current variety of approaches to writing the urban history of Europe since 1500, all four volumes have been successively published by Routledge Advances in Urban History, a series established in 2013 by Gunn and De Munck who act as general editors.
New Approaches to Governance and Rule (304 pages) was the final volume to be published from the Urban Agency network. The book was produced under the editorship of Simon Gunn (70%) and Tom Hulme (30%), the latter then of the Centre for Metropolitan History, School of Advanced Studies, University of London. The contents of the book were discussed at two workshops in Leicester, 2015 (organised by Gunn) and at the Institute for Historical Research, London, 2016 (organised by Gunn and Tom Hulme). The twelve chapters were selected and edited by Gunn and Hulme and grouped in five sections, each reflecting a distinctive analytical approach (elite-centred, symbolic, Foucaultian, etc.). Gunn wrote 80% of the introduction chapter ‘Unravelling Urban Governance’ (22 pages) and was sole author of the final chapter, ‘Heterodoxies: New Approaches to Power and Agency in the Modern City’ (22 pages).
