Old Wine, Cracked Bottle?

Tokyo, Paris, and the Global City Hypothesis

James W. White

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

The theoretical model of the global city, an international metropolis in which form and functioning are predominantly determined by the forces of international capital and in which socioeconomic structure is characterized by class and ethnic polarization, is criticized as economically reductionist and ethnocentric. Paris and Tokyo are offered as empirical examples of international metropolises that are not dominated by capital and/or are not characterized by extreme polarization.
