Street Protests and Fantasy Parks - Globalization, Culture, and the State (Hardcover)

The speed and intensity of global integration in the last two decadeshave provoked serious debate about the human impact of globalizationand deep concern about the capacity of the state to provide socialjustice. Street Protests and Fantasy Parks focuses on twodimensions of globalization: the cultural and social realities ofglobal connection and the uneasily shifting role of the state. Whileglobal processes are fusing societies and economies more deeply thanever before, the editors argue that obituaries for the state arepremature, if not wholly inappropriate. These essays examine a seriesof compelling case studies - the entertainment industry, citizenship,social activism, and wired communication - to assess the choices stateshave and the consequences of those choices for culture and society.
