In \u003ci\u003eTerritory, Authority, Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the world's leading authorities on globalization shows how the national state made today's global era possible. Saskia Sassen argues that even while globalization is best understood as denationalization, it continues to be shaped, channeled, and enabled by institutions and networks originally developed with nations in mind, such as the rule of law and respect for private authority. This process of state making produced some of the capabilities enabling the global era. The difference is that these capabilities have become part of new organizing logics: actors other than nation-states deploy them for new purposes. Sassen builds her case by examining how three components of any society in any age--territory, authority, and rights--have changed in themselves and in their interrelationships across three major historical assemblages: the medieval, the national, and the global. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book consists of three parts. The first, Assembling the National, traces the emergence of territoriality in the Middle Ages and considers monarchical divinity as a precursor to sovereign secular authority. The second part, Disassembling the National, analyzes economic, legal, technological, and political conditions and projects that are shaping new organizing logics. The third part, Assemblages of a Global Digital Age, examines particular intersections of the new digital technologies with territory, authority, and rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sweeping in scope, rich in detail, and highly readable, \u003ci\u003eTerritory, Authority, Rights\u003c\/i\u003e is a definitive new statement on globalization that will resonate throughout the social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saskia Sassen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691136455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaskia Sassen\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of sociology and a member of the Committee on Global Thought at Columbia University, and Centennial Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
