World Cities Beyond the West: Globalization, Development and
Inequality, Josef Gugler, ed., Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge
University Press, 2004, pp. xv, 396.This book seeks to redress what its editor regards as an imbalance in
the social science discourse on globalization and cities by providing a
collection of research on cities in the global South, in the lower income
countries of the world. In his introduction to the book, much of which
could stand on its own as a valuable contribution, Gugler demonstrates
that many cities "beyond the core" are involved in
articulations that span broad regions of the world, if not always the
whole world. Gugler also warns of the tendency to over-generalize across
these "second tier" cities, insisting that scholarship needs
to attend to the unique history, context and culture (especially political
culture) of each city.

"Global Cities" and "Globalization" in East Asia: Empirical Realities and Conceptual Questions
For most of the Twentieth Century, East Asia was among the least urbanized parts of the world; now it is a region where cities are growing the most rapidly and becoming increasingly important centers regionally and in terms of the global urban hierarchy. Tokyo is unquestionably a key "global city," with Hong Kong probably following not far behind, and Seoul and Taipei also moving up in the world city ranks as crucial national articulates of highly successful newly industrialized countries (NICS). At the other end of the spectrum, the teeming cities of the poor in southeast Asia seem to epitomize the appellation of Third World megacities. All the urban churning and foment that accompanies these dramatic transformations raise many questions. The very diversity of development trajectories and urban forms, functions and dynamics in the region is a caution against facile and premature attempts at generalization. But sensitivity to historical and cultural nuances and appreciation for variation also should not force social scientists to abandon a search for some comprehensive conceptual framework to understand the global dynamics of urbanization and (under) development. This paper approaches this problems sensitized to the theoretical notion of global cities, worlds cities, and global urban hierarchies. These terms are only theoretically meaningful (and empirically useful) if we think about cities in global urban networks and in the context of their places in the larger structure of the world-system. After laying out a conceptual framework, we provide some preliminary ideas about how East Asian urban patterns–and particular cities–might fit into the schema. Extending the conventional discourse of global city analysis, the discussion l also focuses on those swelling metropolises in southeast Asia that are at the bottom of the world hierarchy, and suggests that perhaps we need to return to old debates about dependent/peripheral cities and the relationship between urbanization and underdevelopment. Mindful that oversimplified images that flatten the diversity of urban trajectories in different countries and regions are unhelpful, we call for a more theoretically informed sociological analysis of comparative urban patterns and processes.
