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. 410 0$aKey issues in modern sociology. 517 3 $aConsumption, Cities & States 606 $aCitizenship$zSingapore 606 $aCitizenship$zAsia 606 $aCitizenship$zWestern countries 607 $aSingapore$xEconomic conditions 607 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions 607 $aWestern countries$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCitizenship 676 $a339.4/7 700 $aBrooks$b Ann$f1952-$0919239 702 $aWee$b Lionel$f1963- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464278703321 996 $aConsumption, cities, and states$92478523 997 $aUNINA
