Since 2007, Professor Paul Kantor (Political Science) has been a part of the World Cities Research Team, which evaluates how four major metropolitan areas in the developed world are managing forces unleashed by the globalization of their economies.  By comparing and evaluating the responses of Paris, Tokyo, New York, and London to critical issues of globalization, the group expects to assess how greater intergovernmental political cooperation on metropolitan-wide scale is feasible in these "capitals of capitalism."  A book entitled World Cities in the Metropolis: the Politics of Globalization in London, Paris, New York, and Tokyo Regions, is being prepared for completion in 2009.
