TL;DR: This paper used several events in New York in the late 1990s to launch two central arguments about the changing relationship between neoliberal urbanism and so-called globalization: the state becomes a consummate agent of the market, and the new revanchist urbanism that replaces liberal urban policy in cities of the advanced capitalist world increasingly expresses the impulses of capitalist production rather than social reproduction.
Abstract: This paper uses several events in New York in the late 1990s to launch two central arguments about the changing relationship between neoliberal urbanism and so–called globalization. First, much as the neoliberal state becomes a consummate agent of—rather than a regulator of—the market, the new revanchist urbanism that replaces liberal urban policy in cities of the advanced capitalist world increasingly expresses the impulses of capitalist production rather than social reproduction. As globalization bespeaks a rescaling of the global, the scale of the urban is recast. The true global cities may be the rapidly growing metropolitan economies of Asia, Latin America, and (to a lesser extent) Africa, as much as the command centers of Europe, North America and Japan. Second, the process of gentrification, which initially emerged as a sporadic, quaint, and local anomaly in the housing markets of some command–center cities, is now thoroughly generalized as an urban strategy that takes over from liberal urban policy. No longer isolated or restricted to Europe, North America, or Oceania, the impulse behind gentrification is now generalized; its incidence is global, and it is densely connected into the circuits of global capital and cultural circulation. What connects these two arguments is the shift from an urban scale defined according to the conditions of social reproduction to one in which the investment of productive capital holds definitive precedence.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the causes of globalization and what causes globalization, and discuss the role of government, security, and justice in the process of globalisation.

TL;DR: This article argued that the defense of place by social movements might be constituted as a rallying point for both theory construction and political action, and argued that place-based struggles might be seen as multi-scale, network-oriented subaltern strategies of localization.
TL;DR: Collier et al. as discussed by the authors discuss the need for a "culture of expertise" in the management of global commerce. But they do not address the problem of the lack of such expertise in the field of finance.
