This research monograph is based on ten years of research and presents original empirical work from a wide-range of sites (drawing on approximately 150 interviews and further field observations). It also relies upon an extensive and wide-ranging study of theoretical and secondary literature in sociology, socio-legal studies, social theory, anthropology, social and cultural geography, politics, political theory, utopian studies, gender studies and cultural theory. In addition to offering significant substantive and theoretical insights, the book also develops an original interdisciplinary methodology in terms of its approach to concepts, to conceptual analysis and to innovative social spaces.
