Cover of Ulrike Gerhard: Global City Washington, D.C. (PDF)

Die Global City-Forschung bietet eine zeitgemäße Perspektive, die Bedeutungsveränderungen von Städten und ihre Abhängigkeit von globalen Entwicklungen zu untersuchen. Die bisherige Forschung wird dominiert von wirtschaftlichen Argumenten. Die vorliegende politische Stadtgeographie von Washington, D.C., rückt die sozialen Beziehungen und politischen Netzwerke in den Mittelpunkt. Die Stadt fungiert hier als Bühne für zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure, die das spezifische urbane Milieu nutzen und überaus kreativ die Entwicklung zu einer politischen Weltstadt prägen.
