	Globalization and Cyberculture, Martin Irvine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Global cities are the spaces where infrastructure, labor, capital, and information are concentrated; it's where cyberspace happens.
		Global cities are the nodes of cyberspace, the space of flows embodying the simultaneous concentration and decentralization of people, economic activity, technical infrastructure, communications, and information.
		There are two forces at work in globalization: the spread of the Net internationally follows urban infrastructures, and nations around the world are cooperating in the creation of a global network economy by creating networks of globalized informational cities that require liberalized financial and trade policies.

	Nationalism Pits Shanghai Against its Global Ambition
		The largest center of foreign investment in China, Shanghai has overt ambitious of becoming China's "global city." Shanghai's identification with foreign culture hearkens back to the century (1841-1949) of semi-colonial governance in which Shanghai was the most modern and western city in China.

	Amazon.com: The Global City: New York, London, Tokyo.: Books: Saskia Sassen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		She takes an obvious stand against globalization of the economy, but instead of simply stating that globalization is bad, Sassen pulls the reader through 218 pages of hard earned facts and qualified theories about the dangers of globalization.
		Rather than dwell in idealisms, the University of Chicago professor acknowledges the simple observation that globalization is occurring, and rather than asking for an uncompromising end to globalization, she takes a card from the neoliberals' hand and offers concrete solutions to the globalization problem.
		Perhaps she pulled a page from Wordsworth, for her attack on globalization is well organized to the point at which she seems to have recalled "in tranquility" the issues rather than descending into scare-mongering tactics.

	Global city - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A global city and world city, or world-class city, is a concept introduced by a group of academics including the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC), based primarily at Loughborough University.
		The concept includes the postulation that some cities have a direct and tangible effect on global affairs through socioeconomic, cultural, and/or political means, whilst others do not.
		In recent years, the term has become increasingly familiar, because of the rise of globalization (i.e., global finance, communications, and travel).
