Living the Global City - Globalization as Local Process (Hardcover)

Politicians and academics alike have made globalization the key reference point for interpreting the 1990s. For many, globalization threatens both community and the nation-state. It appears to represent forces beyond human control. Living the Global City documents globalization's impact on everyday lives by drawing on research rather than rhetoric and arrives at a very different perspective.
Living the Global City offers an analysis of globalization and global/local processes by focusing on specific issues and themes which include:
* community
* culture
* milieu
* socioscapes and sociospheres
* microglobalization
* poverty
* ethnic identity and carnival.
