This shift of perspective makes a tremendous difference. Reading her book becomes a fascinating eye-opening experience because we then “see” how the still dominant assumptions about nation-state organized publics, mass-media consumption, and so on, are blinding us to the new emerging personal networked realities that link individuals across world regions in 'lived' global public spaces.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUlrich Beck, University of Munich\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Where now do we think, reflect and deliberate? Can the complexities of today’s political reflexivities be contained within the borders of national territory? In this exhilarating and diversely grounded book, Ingrid Volkmer compels us to develop new and conceptually challenging answers to these questions. It is a landmark work of scholarship for the age of communicative globalization.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Few concepts have been as central to understanding the interrelationship among individuals, civil society and the state as Habermas’s 'public sphere'.
