Title: Street protests and fantasy parks
Description: "Street Protests and Fantasy Parks focuses on the cultural and social realities of globalization and the uneasily shifting role of the state. While global processes are fusing societies and economies more deeply than ever before, Cameron and Stein argue that obituaries for the state are premature, if not wholly inappropriate.

These essays examine a series of case studies - the entertainment industry, citizenship, social activism, and wired communication - to assess the choices states have and their consequences for culture and society." "Despite the seismic changes that globalization has wrought on governments, the state remains the last, best guardian of its people. This book - essential reading for policy makers, the media, social activists, and academics - explains just why that is."--BOOK JACKET.
