Saskia Sassen writes sociology about global cities, migration, finance and the ways economic globalisation is organised through particular places and institutions. The Global City focuses on New York, London and Tokyo as command points in transnational finance and services, while Territory, Authority, Rights examines how globalisation changes the relationship between states, economies and citizenship. Expulsions looks at systems that push people and communities outside conventional forms of economic and social inclusion. Sassen's work is analytical and comparative. Readers looking for globalisation, urban sociology, migration and political economy are the closest match. Read more Less
