remain an issue for all governments, it will not be a
sufficiently high priority to alter government's
overall economic and political priorities of
controlling public expenditure and maintaining low
taxation. In practice, this will mean that many of
the housing problems described in the case studies
will continue to afflict the poorest members of
society. Applied geographers and other social
scientists can play an emancipatory role by
undertaking research that reveals the real causes of
the housing problem.

GUIDE TO FURTHER READING
The key international journal on housing policy is
Housing Studies
. Journals also worth consulting
include
Policy and Politics
and
Urban Studies
. Recent
topics that successfully combine a theoretical
analysis with a critique of housing policy include
Kemeny (1992), Malpass and Means (1993) and
Malpass and Murie (1996). The most outstanding
topic published in recent years is Michael Harloe's
(1995)
The People's Home,
a detailed critique of
social housing provision in Europe and the USA.
Those interested in comparative research should
consult Ball
et al
. (1992), Barlow and Duncan
(1994), McCrone and Stevens (1995) and Kleinman
(1996). The most recent topic in this area by Doling
(1997) has the added advantage of examining
housing in Australia and Japan as well as in North
America and Europe. In connection with the
specific concerns dealt with in the case studies, three
valuable topics are Ambrose (1994) on UK housing
renewal policy; Daly (1996) on homelessness in the
United States; and the consequences of social
exclusion on housing estates in Europe by Power
(1997). Finally, those readers interested in a broad-
ranging discussion of welfare and wider ideological
processes should consult the work of Esping-
Andersen (1990).
