It focuses on a number of theoretical and empirical analyses: developing and amplifying the intersection of consumption, citizenship and the state in late modernity in relation to a range of cities; examining the concept of the global city as an 'aspirational' category for cities in Asia and the West; and considering case studies which highlight the intersection of consumption and the state. As Ann Brooks and Lionel Wee demonstrate, the interface between citizen status and consumer activity proves a crucial point of analysis in the light of the neoliberal assertion that individuals and institutions perform at their best within a free market economy.Key issues in modern sociology.Consumption, Cities & StatesCitizenshipSingaporeCitizenshipAsiaCitizenshipWestern countriesSingaporeEconomic conditionsAsiaEconomic conditionsWestern countriesEconomic conditionsCitizenshipCitizenshipCitizenship339.4/7Brooks Ann1952-919239Wee Lionel1963-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910464278703321Consumption, cities, and states2478523UNINA
