Recent research by economists has shown that deindustrialization is more severe in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America than it ever was in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Nevertheless, most research on deindustrialization is focused on the former centres of Fordist manufacturing in the industrial heartlands of the North Atlantic. In short, there is a mismatch between where deindustrialization is researched and where it is occurring, and the objective of this paper is to shift the geographical focus of research on deindustrialization to the Global South. Case studies from Argentina, India, Tanzania and Turkey demonstrate the variegated nature of deindustrialization beyond the North Atlantic. In the process, it is demonstrated that cities in the Global South can inform wider theoretical discussions on the impacts of deindustrialization at the urban scale.

Labor informality in Mexico since the 1980s: the reinforced poverty-gender nexus Şahin, Büşra.; Topal Yılmaz, Aylin; Department of Latin and North American Studies (2019) The presence of labor informality, defined as one of the fundamental sources of income for the vast majority of people, is a wide-spread phenomenon among developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America.

Suburbanization in Turkey within the process of integration to global development and a new life-style settlement Erişen, Oya; Tuna, Numan; Department of Architecture (2004) This study aims to analyze the emergence and evaluation of a new type of suburbanization in Türkiye, which are concomitant with the rise of new middle class having a high purchasing power.

Globalization and urban governance in Istanbul Uzun, Cemile Nil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-03-01) Since the 1980s, the topic of governance has been extensively investigated in parallel with the effects of globalization on policy issues. Meanwhile, there has been an increasing fragmentation of responsibilities in the urban arena. Now, the main focus is on new institutional relations and the policy process in which different constituents and agencies participate at both the national and the local level. As a result of the rescaling process of the state, networked forms of governance constitute a new form ...
