Few recent phenomena have proved as emblematic of our era, and as little understood, as globalisation. 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, "Flexible Citizenship" explores such questions with a focus on the links between the cultural logics of human action and on economic and political processes within the Asia-Pacific, including the impact of these forces on women and family life.Explaining how intensified travel, communications, and mass media have created a trans-national Chinese public, Aihwa Ong argues that previous studies have mistakenly viewed trans-nationality as necessarily detrimental to the nation-state and have ignored individual agency in the large-scale flow of people, images, and cultural forces across borders. She describes how political upheavals and global markets have induced Asian investors, in particular, to blend strategies of migration and of capital accumulation and how these trans-national subjects have come to symbolise both the fluidity of capital and the tension between national and personal identities.Refuting claims about the end of the nation-state and about 'the clash of civilizations', Ong presents a clear account of the cultural logics of globalisation and an incisive contribution to the anthropology of Asia-Pacific modernity and its links to global social change. This pioneering investigation of trans-national cultural forms will appeal to those in anthropology, globalisation studies, postcolonial studies, history, Asian studies, Marxist theory, and cultural studies.

提出一些重要概念，但写作逻辑太差了，零零落落的
评分第二次看自己通透了些～研究希望Foucault+Marx，文化逻辑下的政治经济，实践理论下强调跨国多重性的移民研究，边界内外的state power，不同文化逻辑下的liberal economy。确实不太民族志，不过理论还是组织得好--毕竟开发了很多词，哈哈。
评分有点儿ranting/rambling，理论上不太solid，otherwise pretty good，brings me back to the 90s and early 00s
评分章节之间逻辑很散漫。除了Intro有比较系统的对transnationalism的文献梳理比较有帮助之外，无他= =
评分#77 在王的著作里, transnational capitalism总是一个impose其他因素上的autonomous area, 这导致了三个governmentalities的局限, 尤其是对governmentality of state定义的局限.
