“…It is only appropriate for us to lose self-respect when "one cannot be reasonably expected to maintain it, because conditions are just too unfavourable." 65 Schemmel does not offer a full account of when individuals cannot be reasonably expected to maintain self-respect, however, he suggests that this will often be when "powerful others enjoy dominance in the space of reasons on which victims can draw their selfconception." 66 In a society in which all are convinced that women ought to be subordinate to men (to give a simple example) it is appropriate for women to lack self-respect.…”

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.
