Accumulation by dispossession: transformative cities in the new global order
- New Delhi Sage Publications 2010
- x, 235 p.
The book focuses on the intense spatial crisis in these metropolises, reflecting contradictory processes of inclusion and exclusion a typical characteristic of the global city space. The above crisis, the essays argue, is essentially related to the disjuncture between the ideology of neoliberalism, its everyday practices and the related societal effects. Debunking the myth of homogenisation through globalisation, this volume exposes a divided framework in which globalisation and neoliberalism work, leading to increasing polarisation. There is a special section that focuses on Mumbai, which is especially relevant to the study of IndiaHs current urban policy and its wider ramifications.
