In this revised update, the authors have extended and refined their analysis of Detroit-area automakers and political leaders negotiating the selection of new factory sites and the consequent addition of thousands of jobs to the local economy. This analysis utilises the concept of "solution sets".

Industry Reviews

"An excellent case analysis of urban political economy. . . interesting, sophisticated, well written. It is sure to be widely discussed."--Clarence N. Stone, author of Urban Policy and Politics in a Bureaucratic Age and Economic Growth and Neighborhood Discontent "This new version makes significant new contributions to both the urban politics and public policy literatures, and indeed marries them in an utterly unique way. The concept of solution sets is brilliant, and I assume that it will be much discussed and utilized in the urban literature."--Dennis Judd, author of The Politics of American Cities: Private Power and Public Policy
