Summary
Is globalization killing off the nation state? Columbia University Professor of Urban Planning Saskia Sassen elucidates the opaque dealings that both weaken and strengthen the national idea. What emerges from Sassen's review is a portrait of a radical global concentration of resources and might--with a diminishment of accountability.
