The paper represents a study of papers published in Antipode - A Radical Journal of Geography, from 2010 to 2013, in which, as to the author's assessment, a highly critical stance towards contemporary neoliberalism exists. After the introductory remarks describing the nature of neoliberalism and its definitions, relevant sources regarding the definitions of neoliberalism and its present existing forms were consulted and pointed out. The intent of this paper is to present what kind of critical stance was present in the texts published in Antipode in the period of four years (2010-2013). The discourse that was used to describe, characterize and critically judge the contemporary relationship of neoliberalism towards local communities was identified and analyzed. The basic content analysis of the selected texts from Antipode was made. Emphasizing the importance of scale in studying the processes of globalization and neoliberalisation (among others), the main topics that were studied in the research of neoliberalisation at the local level were: gentrification and privatization of former public space, privatization of local resources, the influence of neoliberalism on the immigrants in specific communities, and the resistance to neoliberalisation through the social protests in local communities. The focus of the analysis was on the words used to describe neoliberalisation of the aforementioned areas of social life and the context in which those words were used, through the analysis of full citations. The analysis has shown that neoliberalisation at the local scale has its specific occurrences, forms, subjects, and objects. The pressure from the private capital is transforming the local communities, and concurrently causing resistance that is taking various forms.
