“…Traditionally, these were engineers, planners and architects (Bunnell and Das, 2010; Cook et al., 2014; Healey and Upton, 2010; Jacobs and Lees, 2013; Larner and Laurie, 2010; McNeill, 2009; Nasr, 2005; Ponzini, 2014; Pow, 2018; Rapoport, 2015; Sklair, 2005; Wood, 2018) but with the more recent advent of entrepreneurial urban governance, management and policy consultants have also joined the flock of travelling urban experts (Prince, 2012; Vogelpohl, 2018). Other important agents of circulation include governments, such as nation states (Béal et al., 2018; Bok and Coe, 2017; Croese, 2018), local governments (Béal and Pinson, 2014; Harrison, 2015; Temenos and McCann, 2012) and city networks (Acuto and Rayner, 2016; Clarke, 2012), but also property developers (Brill, 2018; Brill and Conte, 2019; Morange et al., 2012), academics (Jacobs and Lees, 2013), as well as international donors and philanthropic organizations (Clerc, 2005; McFarlane, 2011; Roy, 2010). Additionally, research has highlighted the importance of material objects for disseminating and anchoring mobile ideas within and across places.…”

In this paper, we highlight the importance for policy mobility research to engage with the ‘multiple temporalities’ of globally prevalent urban policy ideas to understand how these eventually come to shape localities incrementally, and as we show, in sometimes unexpected manners. Through the study of over 10 years of (failed) redevelopment policies in Cape Town’s East City, we formulate two distinct contributions to existing urban policy mobility research. Firstly, we show that looking at the micro-politics of policy mobility in particular places, and over time, can help elucidate how conflicts and resistance to globally mobile urban models shape which aspects of a policy solutions are rendered mobile or immobile, present or absent and, finally, what ends up being implemented in the local context through specific projects. Secondly, we expand on new materialist approaches to urban policy mobility, bringing insights from performativity theory, to look at how ideas and models come to be ‘enacted’ in the real world through various and, perhaps more importantly, uncoordinated means. Our case study shows that policy mobility research should attend to disparate, uncoordinated, more-than-human activities, and how these end up shaping places even in the absence of purposive planning. That way, we show how changing and complex configurations of more than human networks, objects, money, buildings, etc. support the concrete performance of abstract and mobile urban models – in place and over time.

“…Elles relèvent soit de l'expropriation, soit du « déguerpissement », lequel consiste en une expulsion collective et contrainte d'individus qui occupent des lieux relevant de l'espace public et sont considérés comme illégaux et sans droits fonciers (Blot et Spire 2014). Les personnes expulsées bénéficient plus ou moins d'indemnisations et sont envoyées à la périphérie de la ville dans des zones dites de relogement où quelques actions de soutien sont menées par le gouvernement cambodgien en partenariat avec des organisations nationales et internationales diverses (Clerc 2009). 8.

Du (non) désir d’enfant

Cette contribution aborde le concept de « désir d’enfant » en interrogeant la notion d’espace social de la procréation en contexte de violence structurelle et à partir des questions suivantes : qui met un enfant au monde ou n’en met pas ? Qui décide et pourquoi ? Ainsi, la mise au monde des enfants est analysée non pas seulement comme un pur produit du désir individuel mais aussi comme une « production ». Les données sont issues d’une recherche ethnographique menée au Cambodge de 2008 à 2012 au sujet de la construction et de la production sociale des normes, des biotechnologies et de leurs usages en matière de santé de la reproduction. Le propos s’appuie sur deux corpus ethnographiques relevés dans les quartiers pauvres de Phnom Penh et décrit des pratiques de stérilisation masculine, de vente de services sexuels pendant la grossesse, et de marchandisation des nouveau-nés. Après avoir situé historiquement la construction des politiques de régulation des naissances à l’échelle internationale et locale, l’article déploie deux dimensions analytiques. L’une, étique, se rapporte aux rôles des institutions internationales et étatiques dans la gestion des corps des individus. L’autre, émique, renvoie à la perception, au vécu et à l’expérience des individus sur ce qu’ils subissent. Ainsi l’article analyse les logiques qui sous-tendent l’émergence de formes sociales de la reproduction humaine, contrainte et sécurisée, ou soumise à une haute productivité.

“…In parallel, a policy of improving informal settlements was gradually implemented in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many neighbourhoods were upgraded with the help of international cooperation (UNDP, UN--Habitat) and the support of international networks of poor communities (ACHR -Asian Coalition for Housing Rights, SDI--Shack/Slum Dwellers International) (Clerc 2006). In 2003, the eviction and relocation of informal settlements inhabitants was officially abandoned; and the Prime Minister announced a 5--year regularization and upgrading policy of about 500 inventoried districts.…”

A Competition for Land

Competition for land is a new dimension of vulnerability in informal settlements. With the rapid increase in urban land prices, central and pericentral urban land occupied precariously is increasingly coveted both by investors for prestigious projects, and by the people who occupy them, for upgrading with staying living on site. Phnom Penh is an emblematic case of this impact of liberalisation and globalisation of real estate investment on informal settlements and policies that handle them. If the State at times acts as mediator or favour regularization, more often public authorities now implements ambiguous or even antagonistic policies, and often give the preference to investors. As a result, there are more and more forced evictions of residents, who move in distant suburbs, excluded from the heart of the city. Next to the Right to the City, competition for land of central and pericentral urban zones today brings to light the idea of the Right to a Place and to the Urban Centre. 16.1.
