Networked Disease
Emerging Infections in the Global City
By S. Harris Ali & Roger Keil
Wiley-Blackwell (2008)
This collection examines the impact of globalization on the transmission of
and response to SARS in Toronto, Hong Kong and Singapore. Networked
Disease uses the SARS outbreak as a springboard for further discussion
about infectious disease management in progressively globalizing and
urbanizing societies. This tightly integrated thematic selection offers a unique
and timely contribution to a vitally important field of research.
Changing Toronto
Exploring Urban Neoliberalism
By Julie-Anne Boudreau, Roger Keil & Douglas Young
University of Toronto Press (2009)
By exploring the formative years of the New City of Toronto (between 1995
and 2005, the period just before, during, and after metropolitan
amalgamation), Changing Toronto analyzes the political, social, and
environmental challenges of living in, and governing, a major metropolitan
region that bills itself as a multicultural, world-class city.
Leviathan Undone?
Towards a Political Economy of Scale
By Roger Keil & Rianne Mahon
UBC Press (2009)
The book brings together leading theorists of scale and new scholars from a
variety of disciplines who develop a new language to discuss scale, space,
and topology in critical political economy. The contributors bring a new
sensibility to bear on classical and contemporary concerns in political
economy, ranging from the role of the nation-state to social movement politics
and aboriginal self-governance, from environmental concerns to urban
development, and from public health to child care.
