The Political Economy of Mega Projects in Asia: Globalization and Urban Transformation

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of how the developmental goals of Asian states are reflected in large-scale projects and how various actors both realize and challenge these goals. It advances the argument that megaprojects embody the dynamics of multiscalar strategic relations that determine the process and outcome of urbanization.
