Annotation
"The Political Philosophy of the European City offers a wide-ranging panorama of urban political culture in Europe. Its historical scope ranges from the ancient polis through Italian city-states to the ideal of "small is beautiful" in the 20th century. As a political theory, it offers an analysis of conservative, urban republicanism"--.
