Opis

Despite the growing academic interest in transnational economic networks, political movements and cultural forms, too little attention has been paid to the transformation of space that these processes reflect and reproduce. This international, inter-disciplinary volume addresses this problem via a series of theoretically informed studies, thoroughly grounded in detailed empirical research.
