Summary:

Neil Brenner has in the past few years made a major impact on the
ways in which we understand the changing political geographies of the
modern state. Simultaneously analyzing the restructuring of urban
governance and the transformation of national states under
globalizing capitalism, 'New State Spaces' is a mature and
sophisticated analysis of broad interdisciplinary interest, making
this a highly significant contribution to the subject. -; In this
synthetic, interdisciplinary work, Neil Brenner develops a new
interpretation of the transformation of statehood under contemporary
globalizing cap.
