Table of ContentsReviewsThe linkages between cities have become a global network, and nations have become dependent upon their major cities for global connections. In fact, the role and status of cities within their own nations are largely a function of those cities international connections. For the last twently-five years there have been dramatic changes within major cities, and in the relationships between them, caused mainly by increasing globalisation. The changes have been mainly economic or cultural, and one of the writer's principal objectives was to connect these two dimensions. This is a book which places familiar things (e.g. 'Macburgers', and a London rail link) into a larger context, whilst also explaining foreign direct investment (FDI). In conclusion, a diminution in the sovereignty of the nation state has accompanied globalisation, but Abrahamson sees no real alternative to the nation state.Ixfam Development Resources Review.I Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
