The Stuff of Night Mayors: Governance and the Evening Night Time Economy

这项拟议的研究旨在通过阿姆斯特丹和伦敦的夜间市长计划来探索城市夜晚的治理。它将调查这些以前未被研究过的治理模式，以询问它们对两个地方的“夜人”的日常生活和政治经济的影响。该项目旨在结合围绕晚上-夜间经济（ENTE）及其各种治理模式的研究，并以此为视角分析ENTE与酒精行业之间的关系及其潜在危害。通过借鉴有关夜生活的生产、管理和与饮酒行为有关的情感地理的文献，这项研究将与酒精慈善机构BalanceNorth East合作，为英国城市及其ENTE的最佳实践制定蓝图。该项目将自身置于政治经济学框架及其与日常生活的交集中，将使用哈德菲尔德的四种夜间治理模式来框架研究：法律、法规和城市设计；警察治理;PrivateGovernance;影响和非正式治理。该项目将主要采用定性方法，为阐明与生活经验相关的信息提供必要的主观和丰富的数据。数据将分三个阶段收集，包括焦点小组、精英访谈、志愿地理信息和延时摄影。随着夜间市长计划的新推出和在国际上的推广，这项研究完美地为地方和国家层面的政策提供了真正的相关性。

This proposed study sets out to explore the governance ofthe urban night through the Night Mayor schemes ofAmsterdam and London. It will investigate thesepreviously unstudied modes of governance to interrogatetheir effect on the everyday life of 'night people' and thepolitical economy in both locations. The project seeks toincorporate both research surrounding the evening-nighttime economy (ENTE) and its various modes ofgovernance as well as using this as a lens to analyse therelationship between the ENTE and the alcohol industriespotential harm. By drawing on literature surrounding theproduction of nightlife, its governance and the emotionalgeographies bound up with drinking practices, thisresearch will collaborate with alcohol charity BalanceNorth East to develop a blueprint for best practice acrossBritish Cities and their ENTE's. Situating itself within aframework of political economy and its intersection witheveryday life, this project will use Hadfield's four modes ofnocturnal governance to frame the research: Law, Statuteand Urban Design; Police Governance; PrivateGovernance; and Affect and Informal Governance. Thisproject will adopt predominantly qualitative methods, toproduce subjective and rich data essential for elucidatinginformation tied up with lived experiences. Data will becollected in three stages including focus groups, eliteinterviews, volunteered geographic information and timelapse photography taking place. With Night Mayorschemes newly launched and spreading internationally,this research is perfectly placed to provide real relevanceto policy on a local and national scale.
