Book review: transnationalizing the public sphere by Nancy Fraser et al.

Is Habermas’ concept of the public sphere still relevant in an age of globalization, when the transnational flows of people and information have become increasingly intensive and when the nation-state can no longer be taken for granted as the natural frame for social and political debate? Stefania Vicari finds that this collection provide an insightful review of Habermas’ classical theory, but it builds upon Nancy Fraser’s original work on public spheres.
