Neoliberalism has a long history in geographical thought (Hyndman 2009; Viswanathan 2009). For this paper, we limit much of our analysis of neoliberalism to the work that has directly examined the concept

While public-private partnerships have become increasingly popular for delivering large-scale public infrastructure around the world, a common critique is that the structure of the relationship is typically more akin to contracting out than a truly meaningful collaboration between the partners. In this paper we aim to demonstrate how innovative public-private partnership models can be designed to deepen cooperation and deliver project outcomes that are better than any one partner could achieve on their own. To support our argument, we analyze the case study of a novel partnership between the Toronto District School Board and a condominium developer to redevelop a public high school in Toronto. Our results show that a process management orientation to partnership can build trust between the partners, effectively share project risks, and foster the public support necessary to realize controversial projects.

The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of usage of microcomputers, compfred to mainframe usage, by marketing professionals and to describe how microcomputers are used as an aid in marketing decision-making. A national sample of marketing professionals responded to a questionnaire concerning availability of microcomputers and mainframes, decisions and responsibilities performed with each type of computer, software and hardware used, and selected demographics. The results document considerable diffusion of hardware technology as well as widespread use and satisfaction with available software in the subset responding.

What is unexpected, however, is the absence of any sign that political ecology is attaining the level of recognition as a coherent field of study that is given to many other emerging academic specializations. For example, focus areas such as the relatively new field of international development studies have a number of foundational texts aimed both at undergraduate and at graduate levels (
