Abstract
I am currently completing work on a book, Global Shanghai, that will compare and contrast two eras (that lasting from 1850 through 1950 and that which began around 1990 and continues to this day) when the city was dramatically transformed, largely because of international flows of people, ideas, products, and capital.
