Flexible citizenship : the cultural logics of transnationality

Aihwa Ong
Are nation-states being transformed by globalisation into a single globalised economy? Do global cultural forces herald a postnational millennium? Tying ethnography to structural analysis, this title explores such questions with a focus on the links between the cultural logics of human action and on economic and political processes.
