“…Moreover, the leading proindependence electoral party, the Scottish National Party, calls itself social-democratic and rhetorically positions itself to the left of the Labour Party (Davidson, 2014). While not to deny that nationalist sentiment may play a role for some involved, as Mooney notes (in Davidson et al, 2016) national sentiment was usually linked to notions of social justice.…”

“…RIC is pluralistic, containing a range of ideologies, and is structured around national forums where representatives from autonomous local groups decide national strategy (Alexander et al, 2019). While RIC advocates for independence, it does so as a strategy to challenge neoliberalism through organising against austerity and for working-class power (Davidson et al, 2016). As is common in radical organising, women, minorities and…”

Over the past ten years the concept of intersectionality has become increasingly popular in feminist activism. Yet, how intersectionality is used within grassroots movements remains understudied. This article explores intersectionality in feminism within the radical left using a case study of the 2014 Scottish independence movement.The article draws on analysis of 37 semi-structured interviews carried out during the referendum campaign of 2014. Building on black feminist critiques, I highlight that intersectionality is taken up in ways that reproduce rather than tackle hegemonic norms of gender identity, race, class and age. I trace a disjuncture between interviewee claims to be intersectional and simultaneous perceptions of multi-dimensional marginalisations.I explore interviewee discussion of trans-inclusion as illustrative of how axes of intersectionality can be mobilised in ways that sustain hegemonic norms. Interviewees tended to legitimise their claims to intersectionality through invoking the trope of the 'TERF' -trans-exclusionary radical feminist -as a symbol of a selectively defined second-wave feminism elided with radical feminism. This invocation paradoxically reproduced marginalisations of race, class and even gender identity itself.

“…This approach has continued under Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) governments since 2007, where despite social democratic rhetoric, government policy has arguably deepened neoliberal commitments in key ways (e.g. through the pursuit of competitiveness and commitment to low corporation tax rates) (Davidson et al, 2016).…”

“…Holyrood have emphasized economic competitiveness as an overriding goal (Inch 2018;Gray and Porter 2015;Henderson et al 2018). This trend will arguably continue under the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) governments that, their social-democratic rhetoric notwithstanding, have deepened their neoliberal commitments (Davidson, Virdee, Morrison, & Mooney, 2016).…”

The idea of the smart city, with its promise to address the swiftly accruing societal challenges in cities through the use of technology, has over the past decade increasingly gained in popularity and appeal. Local governments have consequently taken to incorporating smart city approaches into their development strategies (Camboim, Zawislak, & Pufal, 2019;Caragliu & Del Bo, 2019). The smart city theme has also generated interest among academics, resulting in a rapidly growing body of literature accompanied by conferences, organisations, articles, and special issues. The literature presents a cacophony of perspectives on the smart city, among which two major streams stand out: the technology-driven smart city and the human smart city.The first focuses on technology-and data-driven urban management steered by governments, often in alliance with corporations, aimed at creating smarter cities for inhabitants Kourtit, Nijkamp, & Steenbruggen, 2017;. A prominent example is the South-Korean "smart city'' of Songdo, built completely from scratch. A ubiquitous computing environment is achieved through the extensive integration of information technologies to provide state-of-the-art urban supervision Shelton, Zook, & Wiig, 2015;. Computerization can also be implanted in existing cities.For instance, Singapore has established a solid technology base to optimise urban infrastructures and public services: it has a widespread data-driven sensor network for transport and energy, a fibreoptic network the length and width of the island, robot hospitals, autonomous -driverless -taxis, as well as vertical gardens and farms that regulate the temperature by absorbing and diffusing heat while collecting rainwater (Anthopoulos, Janssen,
