The first part of the book is concerned with developing the place perspective. Three dimensions of place are put forward:localeandsense of placedescribe the objective and subjective dimensions of local social arrangements within which political behaviour is realized;locationrefers to the impact of the ''macro-order'', to the fact that a single place is one among many and that the social life of a place is embedded in theworkings of the state and the world economy.
