讲座内容简介：(由Prof.Soyez提供）

Due to China’s political situation in the second half of the 20th century,globalization processes started to change the country since DengXiaoping’s open door policy only. However, since the 1990ies, the whole gamut of globalization processes is rapidly influencing the country, in particular,but not only, the coastal cities.

My presentation will focus on some topics that are typical for a geographical approach in Urban and Economic Geography: Starting from the influential ‘Global Cities’ theory’ and going on to what is called ‘Urban Transnationalism’, I will try to make clear that globalization is not only economic, but that there is kind of ‘every day globalization’ with impacts in a variety of fields and actors that are completely overlooked or underestimated in current approaches. With the case of Guangzhou I will in particular focus on the phenomenon of African traders.
