Seoul, as one of Asia's rising global cities, has been a place
where enormous changes in politics, industry, and culture have
taken place over the last five decades. This book explores the new
urbanism in Seoul from the perspective of global political economy,
focusing on the contexts in which the city has witnessed the
transformation of its population structure, such as the rise of the
global urban middle class and the city's increased nodal function
in commodity chains. The burgeoning signs of Seoul's status as a
global city are discussed in terms of transnational tourism and the
frequency of study abroad, the immigrant community, and
cross-border cultural flows. Examining the labour structures within
the city, economic growth policy, the role of advanced information
technology, and neoliberal urban development, the authors also
examine the local response in the city to its emerging status. A
study of the development of the Korean capital and its deep
embeddedness in the world economy, Seoul, Korea's Global City will
appeal to scholars of sociology, geography and economics with
interests in political economy, urban studies and Asian studies.
