For some, political issues are to be found in a particular place, like a parliament. For others, the political is 'everywhere'. From a pragmatic perspective, however, both seem rather unrealistic. In terms of 'practices of politicizing', which make things political (cf. Çaliskan and Callon 2009 on 'practices of economization' making things economic), there are many ways of finding and handling political issues, from a Deweyan formation of a public to a Machiavellian power play to a Foucauldian governmentality (Latour, 2007). As a political issue, gentrification is also dealt with in many different political practices enacted by different communities and states. Although recent overviews of global urbanisms and gentrifications sometimes seem to imply so (e.g. Lees et al. 2015), not all of these practices of politicizing are in any straightforward sense 'neoliberal' (or 'depoliticized'). To explore the rich multiplicity of practices of politicizing gentrification, three neighborhoods in Vienna (AT), Istanbul (TR) and Arnhem (NL) will be compared in terms of how the matter of concern emerges and is processed politically in ways more or less institutionalized.

Impact of gender and social-class in usage of municipal services: tuzla municipality case / Gacal, Kübra; Yavuz, Nilay; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2017) Local politics is closer to citizens in both social and spatial sense than central politics.

European civil society : an emerging agenda Uzunçakmak, Şule Özge; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of International Relations (2003) European Union as a sui generis political system has become an attractive subject of inquiry especially within the last decade.
