"Renegotiating Community asks what happens to the autonomy of individuals and communities due to globalization. Original case studies show how a range of communities are renegotiating the meanings of community and autonomy while living with, and sometimes challenging, the processes of globalization. By addressing the coercive and comforting dimensions of community - as well as the need to reconcile conflicting claims to autonomy - this book redraws the conceptual maps through which community, globalization, and autonomy are understood."--Jacket.
