Losing Control? is an incisive analysis by Saskia Sassen on sovereignty in the age of globalization. In this book, Sassen examines the changes produced in cross-border commercial transactions due to advances in telecommunications and computer networks. It raises the question of who has the capacity to coordinate the new global economic system and how the territoriality and sovereignty of the modern state are affected. The author argues that sovereignty is no longer restricted to the national state, but that a partial denationalization of it is taking place, implicit in agreements such as those of NAFTA and the European Union.
