Globalization and the Paradox of Participation: The Chinese Case

Solinger, Dorothy J.
Abstract
I propose that a political paradox resides at the core of globalization, which can thus be seen as a two-level, double-edged process: State-level efforts to become accepted within the dominant, one might say hegemonic , global economic society have at the same time worked to exclude large numbers of immigrants and would-be citizens from genuine membership in the national community. I illustrate my analysis by referring to France and Mexico, but focus on the case of China.
