Saskia Sassen's research and writing focuses on globalization (including
social, economic and political dimensions), immigration, global cities
(including cities and terrorism), the new technologies, and changes within the
liberal state that result from current transnational conditions.
In each of the three major projects that comprise her 20 years of research,
Sassen starts with a thesis that posits the unexpected and the counterintuitive
in order to cut through established "truths".
Her first multi-year project led to The Mobility of Labor and Capital
(Cambridge University Press 1988). Her thesis is that foreign investment in
less developed countries can actually raise the likelihood of emigration if it
goes to labor-intensive sectors and/or devastates the traditional economy; this
went against established notions that such investment would retain potential
emigrants.
Her second multi-year project led, among other publications, to The Global City
(Princeton University Press 1991; 2nd ed 2001). Her thesis is that the global
economy far from being placeless needs very specific territorial insertions,
and that this need is sharpest in the case of highly globalized and digitized
sectors such as finance; this went against established notions at the time that
the global economy transcended territory and its associated regulatory
umbrellas.
Her third multi-year project led to the award-winning Territory, Authority,
Rights: From Medieval to Global Assemblages (Princeton University Press 2006).
Her thesis is that today's partial but foundational globalizations, from
economic to cultural and subjective, take place largely inside core and thick
national environments and institutions. This makes globalization partly
invisible because it is dressed in the clothes of the national even as it
denationalizes what was historically constructed as national.
Her current project, When Territory exits Existing Framings, is under contract
with Harvard University Press.
In addition to her appointments at Columbia University, Saskia Sassen serves on
several editorial boards and is an advisor to several international bodies. She
is a Member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a member of the National
Academy of Sciences Panel on Cities. She has received a variety of awards and
prizes, most recently, a Doctor honoris causa from Royal Stockholm Institute of
Technology, Ghent University (Belgium), Warwick University (UK), Delft
University (Netherlands), the first Distinguished Graduate School Alumnus Award
of the University of Notre Dame, and was one of the four winners of the first
University of Chicago Future Mentor Award covering all doctoral programs. She
has written for The Guardian, The New York Times, Le Monde Diplomatique, the
International Herald Tribune, Newsweek International,Vanguardia, Clarin, and
the Financial Times, among others.
