This text traces the origins of constitutional silence about the metropolis; explores how urban agglomeration affects the theory and practice of constitutional democracy; examines the constitutional status and jurisprudence of megacity autonomy/dependence; advances new arguments for granting the metropolis adequate constitutional standing; and probes the political economy of state-city constitutional relations across time and place.

Het handhaven van de openbare orde is één van de oudste opdrachten die gemeenten reeds in het begin van de 19de eeuw toegewezen kregen. Vandaag is die taak belangrijker dan ooit. Het laat lokale besturen toe de openbare rust, veiligheid en gezondheid voor hun inwoners te waarborgen. De exponentiële groei van de bestuurlijke ordehandhavingsbevoegdheden in de afgelopen decennia maakt het voor de lokale besturen moeilijk om door het bos de bomen nog te zien. Aan de hand van een uitvoerig overzicht van de vigerende en uiteenlopende lokale ordehandhavingstaken, geeft dit boek handvaten aan lokale besturen om op een coherente en correcte wijze lokaal op te treden. Door middel van zorgvuldig gekozen juridische kwaliteitscriteria analyseert het boek ook het optreden van de lokale actoren en hun ordehandhavingsopdrachten. Onder meer door een rechtsvergelijkend onderzoek met Nederland wordt gezocht naar oplossingen voor problemen in de regelgeving en bestuurspraktijk.

“The strength of this book is that it does not look at a single case or even a few disparate examples of drug, weapon, and human trafficking but looks at many patterns—intra-regionally, cross-nationally, and internationally. It is an innovative addition to the literature on the nature of the safe havens—or ‘black spots’—currently being used for illicit activity. This book will make a clear impact on the scholarship of transnational crime and the geopolitics of the illicit global economy.” —Jeremy Morris, Aarhus University, Denmark Transnational criminal, insurgent, and terrorist organizations seek places that they can govern and operate from with minimum interference from law enforcement. This book examines 80 such safe havens which function outside effective state-based government control and are sustained by illicit economic activities. Brown and Hermann call these geographic locations ‘black spots’ because, like black holes in astronomy that defy the laws of Newtonian physics, they defy the world as defined by the Westphalian state system. The authors map flows of insecurity such as trafficking in drugs, weapons, and people, providing an unusually clear view of the hubs and networks that form as a result. As transnational crime is increasing on the internet, Brown and Hermann also explore if there are places in cyberspace which can be considered black spots. They conclude by elaborating the challenges that black spots pose for law enforcement and both national and international governance.

“Grounded in the urban politics of the 21st Century world-wide, this thoughtful volume hooks urban food – and especially its production – to social justice in a realistic and manageable way.” —Diana Lee-Smith, Mazingira Institute, Kenya “An excellent international overview of urban food democracy and governance, with impressive geographical reach.” —Andre Viljoen, University of Brighton, UK This edited collection explores urban food democracy as part of a broader policy-based approach to sustainable urban development. Conceptually, governance and social justice provide the analytical framework for a varied array of contributions which critically address issues including urban agriculture, smart cities, human health and wellbeing and urban biodiversity. Some chapters take the form of thematic, issue-based discussions, where others are constituted by empirical case studies. Contributing authors include both academic experts and practitioners who hail from a wide range of disciplines, professions and nations. All offer original research and robust consideration of urban food democracy in cities from across the Global North and South. Taken as a whole, this book makes a significant contribution to understanding the potential enabling role of good urban governance in developing formal urban food policy that is economically and socially responsive and in tune with forms of community-driven adaptation of space for the local production, distribution and consumption of nutritious food.
