Description:
What does it mean to be political in an age of postmodernization and globalization? Most former debates on globalization have so far remained polarized between purely economic perspectives, political perspectives that are resolutely state-centric, and sociological perspectives that narrowly focus on the role of global cities. On the other hand, Politics in the Global City focuses on the controversial, neglected theme of citizenship. This collection examines the changing role of citizens; their rights, obligations and responsibilities as members of nation-states and the issue of accountability in a global society.
