This book explores the play of international forces and international ideas about Shanghai, looking backward as far as its transformation into a subdivided treaty port in the 1840s, and looking forward to its upcoming hosting of China's first World's Fair, the 2010 Expo. As such, "Global Shanghai" is a lively and informative read for students and scholars of Chinese studies and urban studies and anyone interested in the history of Shanghai.
