美国近期关于城市政治的文献具有显著的趋同性。地方经济发展的政治问题已成为一个明显的重点，而且还试图将这种政治问题纳入全球化进程。特别是，经济全球化和相关的资本高度流动被视为对城市社区施加了强大的再分配压力。这就是“新城市政策”。本文首先对资本的高度流动性和城市社区的不流动性等相关概念进行了批判性的探讨。这导致在一个respecification的问题之一，当地的依赖和规模，代理弧当地依赖。反过来，这又使得新的城市政治与关于国家领土组织的争论有了批判性的联系。从这一观点来看，关于资本过度流动的长期趋势的主张似乎也缺乏连贯性。
Recent US literature on urban politics has been characterized by significant convergence. There has been a marked focus on the politics of local economic development, and there has also been an attempt to situate that politics with respect to processes of globalization. In particular, the globalization of the economy and correlative hypermobility of capital arc seen as exerting strong redistributive pressures on urban communities. This is the ‘new urban polities’. Evaluation of this thesis proceeds first by a critical interrogation of the related concepts of hypermobility of capital, and immobility of urban communities. This results in a respecification of the question as one of local dependence and the scale at which agents arc locally dependent. This, in turn, allows the new urban politics to be critically linked to arguments about the territorial organization of the state. From this standpoint it also appears that claims for a secular tendency towards the hypermobility of capital lack coherence.
