Throughout the past thirty years a small number of cityregions have achieved unprecedented global status in the world economy while undergoing radical changes. Struggling Giants examines the transformation of four of the most significant metropolises: London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo. This volume analyzes the thorniest issues these sprawling cityregions have faced, including ameliorating social problems through public policies, the effect of globalization on local governance, and the relationships between local, regional, and national institutions.Three critical themes frame Struggling Giants. The first is the continuing struggle for governability in the midst of regional governmental fragmentation. The second theme is how the cityregions fight to manage powerful political biases. Policymaking is often selective, the authors find, and governments are more responsive to economic exigencies than to social or environmental needs. Finally, these cityregions are shown to be strong economic leaders in part because they are able to changealthough the authors reveal that pragmatism and piecemeal policy solutions can still prevail.
