Saskia Sassen

Saskia Sassen ( born January 5, 1949 in The Hague, Netherlands) is an American sociologist and economist. She is known for her analyzes of globalization and international migration. She is currently Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and a visiting professor at the London School of Economics. Sassen coined the term " global city ". She is married to the sociologist Richard Sennett.

Born in the Netherlands, as the daughter of the Dutchman Willem Sassen, who had done propaganda services for the Nazi regime, Saskia Sassen grew up in Buenos Aires. A majority of her youth she spent in Italy. She studied philosophy and political science at the University of Poitiers, France, the University of Rome and the Universidad de Buenos Aires. From 1969 she studied sociology and economics at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana.

From 1980 to 1990 she was one of the most prolific authors on the subject of sociology of urban developments. She did research on processes of globalization and the migration of labor and capital as well as to the influence of modern means of communication. Sassen observed how nation states are losing their influence on developments. In particular, they focused on transnational migration. They described the phenomenon of the so-called global city ( " Global City ").

Sassen is a member of the Club of Rome. In 2011, she received the Luhmann Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Sociology at Bielefeld University. Since May 2011 she is co-editor of the political- scientific monthly magazine Sheets for German and international politics. 2013 she was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences.

Quote

The riots in France 2005: In the U.S. it is called impoverished citizens " White Trash ". In their exclusion is not about race, but about class membership. I think that it is this layer of impoverished White is also available in France, many are considered to be waste. But then you use a term like " Muslim " to create "the other". That's what happens seemingly explainable. (...) The young people of Paris rebelled not against the state but against the police, against authority figures. The police, in turn, thinks it was a matter of curb terror. There are studies about what happens when you put young people permanently in jail. They will only further enraged. I hope that there is a wiser response, one that says: " We need to talk with the people ." ( In the Frankfurter Rundschau of 15 November 2005)
