“…5 The significant empirical component of disputes over the social bases of self-respect is often unacknowledged; or, if recognized, is typically not pursued. For example, Rawls's claim that self-respect should, within the terms of a Rawlsian society, be robust against economic inequality has been the subject of much criticism (for example Miller 1978, 18;Penny 2013;Zaino 1998). Yet little in the way of countervailing empirical evidence has been brought forth to support these critiques.…”

State-Led Gentrification and Self-Respect

Gentrification is a global and highly controversial issue. This article develops an account of what can be troubling, specifically, about state support for gentrification processes. Recent research points to the fact that gentrification processes are being used by policy-makers in many parts of the world as tools for urban ‘renewal’ or transformation. However, it is claimed that this is often at the cost of badly off residents of these areas. I argue that where the state supports or encourages gentrification processes that either (a) impose non-trivial costs on badly off residents of gentrifying areas or (b) fail to benefit these residents in certain ways, the state disrespects these residents by failing to show due regard for their interests. In doing so, it threatens their self-respect. Having made this argument, I also consider how certain kinds of state investment once gentrification processes have occurred can threaten the self-respect of original residents.
