New municipalism is a nascent global social movement aiming to democratically transform the local state and economy – but what, precisely, is so new about it? I situate new municipalism in its geographical, political-economic and historical contexts, by comparison with earlier waves of municipal socialism and international municipalism, arguing that it re-politicises traditions of transnationalism, based not on post-political policy mobilities but on urban solidarities in contesting neoliberal austerity urbanism and platform capitalism. This article identifies three new municipalisms – platform, autonomist, managed – whose characteristics, contradictions, interconnections and potentials are explored in terms of state-space restructuring, urban-capitalist crisis and cycles of contention.

State Form

Drawing upon Lefebvre's theory of state space, this essay interprets currently unfolding transformations of state form as a reconfiguration of the spatial scales on which state power is deployed. Various transformations of regional and urban planning policies in the FRG since the early 1970s indicate the state's crucial role in the production and restructuring of social space in an era of intensified globalization. The major role ofregional and local state institutions as both agents and sites of capitalist restructuring suggests that contemporary territorial states are not being eroded or dissolved in the face of globalization but re-scaled and reterritorialized.
