Struggling Giants examines the transformation of four of the most significant metropolises: London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo. This volume analyzes the thorniest issues these sprawling city-regions have faced, including ameliorating social problems through public policies, the effect of globalization on local governance, and the relationships between local, regional, and national institutions. 410 0$aGlobalization and community ;$vv. 20. 606 $aMetropolitan government 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aMetropolitan government. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a320.8 700 $aKantor$b Paul$f1942-$0999257 702 $aLefe?vre$b Christian 702 $aSaito$b Asato 702 $aSavitch$b H.
