Asian cities: globalisation, urbanisation and nation-building

Malcolm, Mckinnon

Asian cities: globalisation, urbanisation and nation-building - Copenhagen Nordic Institute of Asian Studies 2011 - xiv, 258 p. - NIAS - Nordic Institute of Asian Studies Monograph series .

Asian Cities challenges Western paradigms of urban growth with a fresh and stimulating look at cities in developing Asia. It questions the status accorded globalization in explaining contemporary Asian cities, arguing instead that they are being transformed by three major forces H urbanization and nation-building as well as globalization. The latter two are not dependent variables of globalization, although all, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, are shaped by capitalism. (http://www.niaspress.dk/books/asian-cities)
