About the author

Kenneth A. Stahl is a Professor of Law and Director of the Environmental, Land Use, and Real Estate Law certificate program at Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law. His research combines doctrinal analysis with insights from disciplines including urban sociology, geography, economics, and the humanities.

Summary

Synthesizing several areas of law and theory, Stahl argues that localities are critical sites of citizenship. This unique perspective on current political dynamics will appeal to experts in immigration and local government, and anyone interested in how globalization and the rise of cities have spurred the re-emergence of nationalist demagogues.
