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) ER -
