Apart from this recently published book, Clapham has also contributed with texts on theories in housing research, co-operative solutions in housing, issues of distribution and a range of other questions related to housing.

The book “Remaking Housing policy” is an international analysis of housing policy focusing on neoliberalism and the idea of a neoliberal housing regime.

“Starting from first principles, readers are guided through the objectives behind government housing policy interventions, the tools and mechanisms deployed and the outcomes of the policy decisions. A range of international case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas illustrate the book’s general principles and demonstrate how different regimes influence policy.” from Routledge’s description.
