Description
Abrahamson's book, accessible to undergraduates with little background in sociology or social science, investigates the effect of globalizationon the world's major cities through an exploration of both the economic and cultural dimensions associated with this phenomenon. Unlike other books on the topic, Abrahamson produces a detailed and multi-faceted picture of these cities, covering leading urban centres such as London, New York, Tokyo and Paris, but also branching out to other cities in the global system.
