Abstract
This research aimed to reconstruct a local urban politics and develop a
mesomicro-level model of urban politics through a case study, drawing on a
Bourdieusian relational framework. To this end, it investigated the case of local
low-income housing policy inclusionary zoning in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. It
historicized the path of the local low-income policy issue through document analysis and
qualitative media content analysis. Through multiple analyses, the study revealed that
urban politics consists of complex interlinkages among stakeholders with shared values
or interests from different social domains, created in order to dominate the policy issue.
The study further investigated, on the basis of Bourdieus concepts of capital and
habitus, what elicited different political strategies from key community leaders.
Pierre Bourdieus theories have largely been used to assess social issues, particularly
social stratification within macro social structures. There is, however, a great deal of
potential inherent in his theories to guide urban research toward deeper theoretical
explanations (Butler and Watt, 2007; Allen, 2008; Wacquant, 2008; Watt, 2008; Savage,
2011). Indeed, Bourdieu also revealed his concern with spatial and geographic issues
through his various works (Bourdieu, 1999; 2001; 2005; 2008). Current Bourdieusian
urban research deals with a variety of urban issues such as social capital for community
development (Hibbitt et al., 2001; Hoyman and Faricy, 2008; Fallov, 2010), sense of
place (Hillier and Rooksby, 2005), urban lifestyle (Baviskar, 2003; Scheiner and Kasper,
2003), spatial segregation and gentrification (Wacquant, 2008; Pattaroni et al., 2012;
Marom, 2014), urban planning (Edman, 2001; Gunder and Mouat, 2002; Howe and
Langdon, 2002) and urban politics (Huxley, 2002; Gopakumar, 2009; Prieto and Wang,
2010). Nevertheless, there is little research that demonstrates the interdependency and
totality of Bourdieus concepts or provides a systematic Bourdieusian urban research
framework. Instead, most apply a select few of the theories in a fragmented way. Hence,
this study aims to conceptualize a Bourdieusian urban research focusing on local politics
and drawing on Bourdieus relational sociology and theory of practice, which accounts
for human agents practices according to the formula: [(habitus)(capital)] + field
(Bourdieu, 1984: 101).

Madison is known for relatively high land prices, a factor that makes it more difficult to
build affordable houses. In addition, the quality and locations of many of Madisons
affordable houses do not meet an important purpose of inclusionary zoning: to enhance
economic community integration (Morton et al., 2008).
Under these circumstances, Madisons inclusionary zoning (IZ) program was mooted
in 2002 by city council members belonging to local progressive political parties: a
progressive alder was the key advocate. The IZ program was debated as a core local issue
during the mayoral election campaign period in 2003. The leader of an environmental
civic group was elected as mayor. With his progressive political disposition, the mayor,
with the assistance of the progressive alders previous mentioned, proposed a mandatory
form of IZ ordinance.
However, the IZ ordinance was subject to intense politicking among various
stakeholders through its formation and implementation process over several years. As a
result, the IZ issue unfolded in three qualitatively distinctive phases over time: (1) prior
discussion on enactment of a mandatory IZ ordinance before the mayoral election;
(2) controversies over the mandatory IZ after the new mayors election but before his IZ
was enacted; and (3) after IZ enactment and a legal challenge to the IZ ordinance.
During the first phase, the IZ issue was brought up as a main issue in the mayoral
election at the end of the former mayors term of office. Several progressive city council
members suggested creating an IZ program in Madison. An environmental activist was
elected as mayor, promising to create IZ during his term. During the second phase, the
new mayor began drafting mandatory IZ program legislation with a progressive alder, a
few non-profit developers and the citys housing-related staff members. There were
conflicts about the proposal among stakeholders. While the mayor and several
progressive alders supported a mandatory form of IZ ordinance, Smart Growth Madison
(SGM), the most influential ad hoc lobbying association for local developers, backed by
conservative anti-IZ alders, insisted on a voluntary form. Eventually, the mayors
mandatory IZ law passed the city council. The IZ ordinance required developers of
projects of 10 or more units to set aside 15% of the units for people who earn less than
the Dane County median income. The ordinance had two primary overriding goals:
(1) to increase the number of affordable dwelling units in the City of Madison; and (2)
to create mixed-income neighborhoods throughout the city.
During the third phase, however, the IZ law was challenged after its enactment by a
lawsuit from the local apartment owners association and attempts at repeal were
launched by anti-IZ local business associations such as SGM and anti-IZ alders.
Eventually, the mayor amended the IZ law. Most of the local developers tried to avoid
complying with it: several built and sold only 33 IZ units. In the long run, the IZ
ordinance expired by virtue of a sunset clause, after fewer than expected IZ units had
been created.

taste or disposition verifies its existence only in its relation to others. Hence, a certain
quality of bearing and manners, most often considered innate (one speaks of distinction
naturelle, natural refinement), is nothing other than difference, a gap, a distinctive
feature, in short, a relational property existing only in and through its relation with other
properties (Bourdieu, 1998: 6).
As shown in Figure 1, which depicts an abstract example of urban politics, each actor
has his or her own individual habitus and capitals. Their habitus and capitals are only
identified in relation to other actors habitus and capitals in the same subfield. Actors in
the same subfield share the same subfield habitus and capitals, which are also verified in
relation to the habitus and capitals shared by actors in other subfields. All actors in the
urban politics also share the same field habitus and capitals because they are all engaged
in the politics of the same local community. Therefore, the field habitus and capitals are
regionally created, according to one regions distinction from other regions.
In terms of methodology, while Bourdieu uses research methods eclectically, using
both ethnographic qualitative and statistical quantitative analyses, his primary theory
building relies on a relational mode of quantitative analysis, correspondence analysis,
which is a multivariate statistical technique for presenting a set of data in a
two-dimensional graphical way (see Greenacre, 1983), because it is a relational
technique of data analysis whose philosophy corresponds exactly to what, in [his] view,
the reality of the social world is (Bourdieu and Wacquant, 1992: 96). Along the same
lines, Galois lattice analysis, often called Formal Concept Analysis, has also been
suggested for urban politics research (Shin, 2013) and organizational research
(Emirbayer and Johnson, 2008) now that it enables us to identify specific connections
between stakeholders and their position-taking on an issue.
Galois lattice is a method of data analysis that identifies hierarchical conceptual
structures among data sets (Wolff, 1993; Priss, 2006). The concept is named after French
mathematician variste Galois, the founding father of Galois theory, a major branch of
abstract algebra (Duquenne, 1991; Freeman and White, 1993). This two-mode, or
bipartite, network analysis can show the structural duality of: (1) the actor-by-event
structure; (2) the actor-by-actor structure; and (3) the event-by-event structure, by
analyzing a two-mode network and representing the network configurations
simultaneously (Freeman and White, 1993).

(2) intra-subfield politics politics among stakeholders within the same subfield, and
(3) intra-field politics politics among stakeholders across different subfields within a
field, mostly in the form of coalition. The framework serves as a preliminary analysis
framework and functions as a tentative baseline for constructing a field of urban politics.
Initially, we can conceptualize a local community as a social space for the local
subfields, or social realms, which, when it comes to local politics, are in general
composed of the local polity, businesses and civic organizations. The subfields compete
or cooperate with one another for survival and reproduction. This is conceptualized as
inter-subfields politics. At a micro level, the struggles among individual stakeholders
within each subfield participating in urban politics are conceived as intra-subfield
politics. In addition, since the interactions and transactions among stakeholders are
intertwined in a complicated way inasmuch as individual stakeholders from the same
subfield also compete or cooperate with stakeholders from other subfields for desired
resources and power, political relations between individual stakeholders across different
subfields are defined as intra-field politics. This preliminary framework gives us a
starting point for constructing an urban politics based on an empirical study through
which unique urban political subfields can be identified and conceived. In order to
reconstruct the urban politics centered on the IZ issue in Madison, this study employed
multiple research methods: document analysis, qualitative media content analysis,
campaign finance analysis, in-depth interviews and statistical business database analysis.

Figure 4 Madison urban politics within the local polity: politicians and their position-taking

can show specific linkages between stakeholders and their position-taking. Through
qualitative media content analysis, I identified stakeholders and four position-takings
with regard to the IZ issue during the entire timeline: support the idea of IZ (Z); oppose
the idea of IZ (N); support mandatory IZ (M); and support incentive or voluntary
IZ (I).
For instance, during Phase 1 of the discussion prior to the enactment of a mandatory
form of IZ ordinance before the mayoral election (as shown in Figure 4), in the political
groups, the former mayor, Sue Bauman, along with other politicians was in favor of a
mandatory IZ law, while she also supported the idea of IZ. This study recapitulates the
key findings in the urban politics networks across the subfields as follows.
the main progressive alder when the former did not recommend the latter to serve on the
citys influential Plan Commission.
Capital and habitus as the operating logics in the eld of urban politics
Both capital, which is multi-dimensional, and habitus, which is the unconscious schema
for perception and practice, are inseparable from the concept of field, since a field is a
social space of relations of force among individuals or among groups that possess the
same capital necessary to hold dominant positions (Bourdieu, 1992). In this context,
capital does not simply refer to economic resources; rather, it is embodied in at least three
principal forms: economic, cultural and social (Bourdieu, 1986). The form, the efficacy
and the value of capital vary, contingent on different fields. Hence, we need to assess
various capitals as the energy of social physics (Bourdieu, 1990: 122) in the different
subfields of urban politics, not merely as a medium for social transaction, in order to
systematically understand the dynamics in each subfield. We also postulate that the
stakeholders are likely to act on the capitals they seek to possess. For instance, while the
stakeholders in the subfield of local business groups are more likely to seek economic
capital, local politicians might be more interested in obtaining nonmaterial capital such
as political power.
Nevertheless, the notion of capital is not enough to explain the deeper logic of
stakeholders different choices of action, or strategies, in urban politics even though the
stakeholders pursue the same capital in the same subfield. For this, Bourdieus concept
of habitus is useful, because habitus, or bodily knowledge inscribed in social agents
bodies by past experience (Bourdieu, 2001: 128), serves as the foundational logic of
practice even for calculative, rational activity such as seeking capital in urban politics.
While a field provides objective rules, habitus brings out the actors gut feelings for, and
reaction to, the rules in particular ways (Bourdieu, 1998).
Hence, we presume that those stakeholders who have different habitus end up
choosing different position-takings and strategic actions than other stakeholders in the
same subfield of urban politics. In a retrospective way, we can trace and detect
stakeholders habitus by assessing their position-taking, or choice of action in lifestyle,
education, career, affiliation and so forth, because habitus, as the ultimate logic of
practice, is not something we can measure firsthand (Bourdieu and Wacquant, 1992). We
can also postulate that stakeholders who have heretical or alternative habitus are expected
to work as challengers or reformers in a subfield of urban politics because they might
seek to introduce alternative standards and stakes against those who defend autonomous
principles of extant judgment in the arena of a continuing collision in the field (Bourdieu,
1992; Bourdieu and Wacquant, 1992).
Therefore, the two concepts of media and capital ultimately define the same objects,
which are exchanged in social transactions, from different perspectives of social
integration and stratification (Shin, 2009). Indeed, capitals are ambivalent because they
function not only to foster competition and conflict among stakeholders in a field, but
also to uphold the autonomy of a field from other fields. In this vein, this study applies
three different media for each subfield as dominant capitals, which stakeholders in
different subfields seek to obtain. They are power in the local polity, money in the
business groups, and value commitments in the civic groups, as Parsons (1963a; 1963b;
1968a) initially conceptualized. In addition, while this study also attempted to
distinguish key stakeholders habitus, it focused on the progressive politician for her
potential as a reformist in the subfield of local polity.
developers successfully built and sold a total of 33 IZ-units. Four developers were
commercial builders, and two were non-profit developers.
In terms of urban politics, in the subfield of interest groups, a dominant number of
developers were reluctant to comply with the IZ ordinance. For instance, the former
president of SGM asserted that the citys regulations, including the IZ ordinance, were
the main obstacle to the citys growth and development (T. Wall, personal
communication, 11 June 2009). Moreover, his view of community development was
shared by some conservative city politicians and local developers, who created social
capital among them through an informal social network and eventually generated the
anti-IZ coalition.
Nevertheless, four commercial developers did participate in building IZ units. A
participant developer argued that they wanted to demonstrate that developers cooperate
with city policies and programs (J. Rosenberg, personal communication, 22 May 2009).
He was one of the pro-IZ developers. In that sense, some developers seemed to have
different reasons or logics for participating in urban politics.
However, some stakeholders maintained that the developers who participated in IZ
had different development concentrations. For instance, an urban designer, who had
worked as the vice-chair of the IZ Advisory Oversight Committee, explained:
[The president of Veridian Homes] agreed that there is a need. While some developers
recognized the need, they were more attuned to try to figure out how to make it work than to
find a way not to make it work. A portion of the development community said that there is no
need. That is just a burden, not need. They just look at that from a purely economic standpoint.
How can they get around it? They found loopholes and a variety of techniques to play games
with the system. Others? Like Alexanders case, they may not be able to sell these at the same
market rate, but they can make sales faster and earlier. That is valuable to them. They
recognized that. To them, that is beneficial. I think they thought it was an opportunity (B.
Munson, personal communication, 21 May 2009).
study conducted in-depth interviews with two non-profit developers who built and sold
IZ units.
The director of Common Wealth Development initially came to Madison from
Baltimore to study social work at the University of WisconsinMadison. Since then, she
has become strongly attached to Madison. After earning her social work degree from the
University of CaliforniaBerkeley, she returned to Madison to take a VISTA (Volunteers
in Service to America) volunteer job with the organization (Morton, 2004). She has been
working for the organization for 28 years. As implied in her educational background and
career choice in social work, her habitus seemed to lead her to engage in the non-profit
sector in order to gain and maintain her capital of value commitments to community
development. Hence, with her habitus and capital, as regards the IZ issue, the director
became actively involved in the policy formation process while working as the chair of
the IZ Advisory Oversight Committee. Her habitus was reflected in her opinion on
affordable housing and IZ. She argued:
What I thought was important is not only that there would be additional housing units
developed but also that there would be integration of people with lower income, mid- or higher
income. To me, that is very important . . . Typically, affordable housing has been concentrated
. . . How do you integrate affordable housing? And I think that is why IZ is important from my
viewpoint (M. Morton, personal communication, 7 May 2009).
Another civic organizer is a retired professor at the University of Wisconsin who has
been heavily involved in volunteer activities. He has tried to focus on building a sense of
community through co-housing development. He has been affiliated with community
outreach and civic engagement activities in co-housing and various volunteering even
after retirement. With his commitment to the civic value of community building, he was
also involved in the IZ formation process while serving on the citys housing committee.
He said about the law:
We tried to get a law that includes people who live in Madison to buy homes with lower income
than average. Not necessarily poor but lower income. And, we have tried to do it in such a way
that they would get good housing but it would not necessarily be the same as other housing. So,
there was one point of view that we should just provide enough subsidies, so the housing is
cheap. I was personally against it because that means that once housing is sold, it is no longer
affordable housing. It is then market-rate housing . . . [Affordable] housing should be [kept]
long term (J. Merrill, personal communication, 22 May 2009).
In short, this study found that these two activists pursued ways to enhance affordable
housing and to support the IZ program. In fact, the two civic activists sought the same
capital as other civic organizations and activists that opposed IZ value commitments
to community development in their case by providing affordable housing and
supporting the IZ program, based on their values, which were embedded in their habitus.
So, even though every civic organization operates on the basis of value commitments
being its main capital, the capital in the subfield of civic organizations is differentiated
and diversified according to each organizations concentration and interest, rooted in
each entitys organizational and individual habitus. As a result, different civic
organizations choose different position-takings and different tactics of civic engagement
tactics toward the same local issue.
IZ issue across the subfields in the relational mode of analysis, the study employed a
two-mode network analysis based on Galois lattice. It demonstrated how the
stakeholders were connected with regard to their position-taking on the issue and how
some coalition networks evolved over time. In addition, it investigated the logics behind
stakeholders choices of action in urban politics and elaborated on them in relation to
capital and habitus. Through the analyses, this research found that the capitals were
differentiated across the subfields and that the stakeholders position-takings and
strategic actions on the community issue were connected with their habitus as a logic of
practice. All these findings encourage us to approach urban politics at a mesomicro
level by heeding the importance of stakeholders individual politics and their subjective
logics of action, which are in part shaped by given conditions and reflected in their
choices of action. Based on the findings, this study theoretically recapitulates two
conspicuous characteristics in the Bourdieusian urban politics model.
First, stakeholders individual politics matter in Bourdieus field theory because
social agents are not particles that are mechanically pushed and pulled about by
external forces, but bearers of capitals, depending on their trajectory and on the position
they occupy in their social domains (Bourdieu and Wacquant, 1992: 108). Therefore, the
field theory enables us to focus on individual stakeholders in urban politics, their actions,
and the principles behind those actions. In addition, it leads us to pay attention to the
potential of coalition networks among stakeholders across subfields in the form of
intra-field politics that go beyond the inter-subfields politics. In the case of Madisons IZ,
we observed that the IZ program was created by a new mayor and some progressive
politicians and challenged by the anti-IZ coalition, which was driven by some local
developers and conservative politicians. In short, the key stakeholders individual politics
heavily affected the entire local politics in regard to the IZ issue during the whole process
of its formation, implementation and abolishment.
Second, this study pays attention to reform potential in the field theory, which has
tended to be underestimated, because the theory conceives of a field as the locus of
relations of force and not only of meaning and of struggles aimed at transforming
it, and therefore of endless change (ibid.: 103). In other words, while there are central
players in a field, who try to uphold orthodox principles of action, there are also marginal
players who have heretical values and interests countering conventional values and
interests and thereby have the potential to become innovators in the field (Bourdieu,
2004). Therefore, the field theory enables us to discover the individuals or groups who
have alternative or heretical principles in urban politics and the impact they have on the
subfield they belong to. For instance, this study paid heed to the progressive city alder
because her choice of unique strategies for urban politics was driven by an alternative
habitus. On city politics, she said:
I believe that the government should be making sure that everybody has a good quality of life
in the city of Madison, not just for people who have money and who are well connected and
who know how things get done and what things get done. I think the government should be very
open, accessible and transparent for everybody. And, really the way it works is people just like
to work out deals behind the scenes. I dont like to see that kind of stuff happen. And, I just feel
like people who dont have voice in government need to be represented. I hope that to the best
extent I can provide that voice to them (B. Konkel, personal communication, 3 March 2009).
For this reason, she actively utilized social media to engage in local politics, even
publicizing informal talks on city politics. Hence, this study maintains that she holds
reformist potential to affect the dynamic of local politics in the subfield of Madisons
local polity by bringing an unconventional method of informational politics (see
Castells, 2001; Friedland et al., 2007) and her recalcitrant political agendas on social
justice, which are embedded in her habitus, to local politics.
A practical implication of this is that the public can identify potential reformers in
urban politics and collaborate with them to develop effective strategies to participate in
urban politics in the public interest. Hence, from a normative perspective, we need to
utilize this urban politics framework as a practice model for the publics strategic
participation in urban politics. For instance, through analysis with the Bourdieusian
framework and multi-mode network analysis, we are able to build a comprehensive
urban politics monitoring system that will enable us to predict possible coalition
networks in urban politics, identify the stakeholders who have alternative principles as
potential reformers, and collaborate with them to develop effective coalition networks.
In the corporate sector, corporate managers utilize stakeholder mapping
strategiesidentifying stakeholders interests and power levels and predicting possible
coalitions by using mapping tools in order to effectively respond to stakeholders
needs and crises (Mitchell et al., 1997; Boutilier, 2009). Likewise, we can actualize an
urban politics monitoring system by creating a database of key community stakeholders
subfields (professions), capitals (interests or stakes), and position-taking (activities
regarding community affairs) in the form of a matrix. We will be able to show the
associations of stakeholders based on their position-takings by analyzing the database
through Galois lattice analysis (see Duquenne, 1991; Freeman and White, 1993). In sum,
public and civic organizations can use this urban politics monitoring system to identify
possible coalition networks according to specific urban issues and seek cooperation with
relevant stakeholders to effectively engage in local politics.
