I am studying the city through the events that are in itself to revive the city at a tourist level in low season, where the flow of tourists is lower. One of the causes of urban decline i also globalization. So i wanted to know if there are research available to document me on the phenomenon .
thanks to those who will give her contributed
It is hard to tell exactly what you need for your research. Maybe if you tell us more about your object, we can help you better. Also, would be useful to know what school of thought you intend to pursue. There are a lot of materials on globalization. I am assuming you are taking a more main stream approach.
In that case, I would recommend the article Shrinking Cities, from Martinez-Fernadez et al: Article Shrinking Cities: Urban Challenges of Globalization
For a more marxist and third worldist approach I would suggest you to read "Capitalism in the Age of Gloabalization", by Samir Amin. it is remarkable how well Amin predict some aspects of Globalization that only became clear for the rest of us from 2016 and forward, such as the rise of a new populism and neo-fascism. It is worth the read.
Dear Mattia, as Cosenza commented above, Globalization is a wide concept and its hard to recommend a literature without a theoretical or methodologjcal delimitation. In any case, Milton Santos book "Por uma outra Globalizacao" is one good reference, but is in Portuguese. For global cities, Saskia Sassen; Jordi Borja and Manuel Castells, both Catalans, wrote about Barcelona; Raquel Rolnik, former UN Special Rappourteur on Housing, has works on cities affected by economic exploitation...the list could follow...
I agree with Apoena, and Gilberto that globalization is a very dynamic process as are it's impacts on cities. It also does not stand in isolation with regard to impacts. I have attached two documents, one on the impact of globalization on inner city poverty generally and the other on the City of Detroit and the automotive industry that may provide some insight for you. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your suggestions: Gilberto MA Rodrigues and GReg Walterhouse I know some works of Sassen because I studied in urban policy analysis; and also some Manuel Castells works (which I love). I continue to approach the readings and authors you have suggested to me. I think that they are really useful and interesting
