Produktbeschreibung

This collaborative, interdisciplinary study reframes debates aboutcommunity, globalization, and autonomy by analyzing the multiple waysin which communities are renegotiating their autonomy under conditionsof globalization. Both as a concept and a set of social relationships, community iscentral to contemporary debates about globalization. Faced with findinga livable globalization, many communities are renegotiating theiridentities and functions and, in some instances, entirely newcommunities are being formed. Yet there is no clear consensus on whycommunity matters or on how globalization affects particularcommunities. Renegotiating Community asks what happens to the autonomy ofindividuals and communities due to globalization. Original case studiesshow how a range of communities are renegotiating the meanings ofcommunity and autonomy while living with, and sometimes challenging,the processes of globalization. By addressing the coercive andcomforting dimensions of community -- as well as the need to reconcileconflicting claims to autonomy -- this book redraws the conceptual mapsthrough which community, globalization, and autonomy areunderstood.
