Extract

Territory, Authority, Rights: From Medieval to Global Assemblages, Saskia Sassen, Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 2006, pp. xiv, 493.

How to make sense of globalization? Saskia Sassen's attempt, in Territory, Authority, Rights (TAR), is like globalization itself: vast, sweeping and forceful, but maddeningly hard to grasp. At best, we are dazzled and sure we're on to something important. At worst, it's difficult to say what exactly this is. At times, we fear we've been had.
