Description

Book Synopsis
This work looks at the way in which the new global economy works, examining its effect on the power and legitimacy of individual states. It argues that national sovereignty has not eroded, but states have begun to reconfigure, to decide where their responsibilities lie and where they do not.

Trade Review
Sassen is particularly concerned with the transformation wrought by globalization on the national state and its basic attributes: sovereignty, exclusive territoriality, and citizenship. She does a fine job of outlining the positive and negative aspects of this process. World Affairs Sassen writes with a clarity that sacrifices none of the complexity of the issues she addresses.
