Abstract

New York and Los Angeles: Global Leaders of Information Production 21 New York and Los Angeles: Global Leaders of Information Production Aharon Kellerman RJUN Appadurai, writing of the “global cultural economy,” distinguished among five dimensions of global cultural A flows, which he termed “scapes”: the migration of work- ers; media (television, movies, magazines, etc.); technology; capital; Castells 2000 and ideologies. Castells added the global flows of information, organizational interaction, images, sounds, and symbols. All these flows are asymmetrical, reflecting the domination of world cores. Of these flows, the study of global financial capital has gained momen- tum in recent years. The general distribution of financial centers has Laulajainen been explored, as well as the identification of world cities specializing Beaverstock et al. in command and control activities. The most important global capital centers, the triad New York-London- Tokyo, represent respectively three global cores (North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim). These three global cities present a dense network of interconnections , Sassen 1991 side by side with local specializations in the global capital industry. However, the study of the equivalent and interrelated global informa- Kellerman 2000 tion networks and centers is still in its infancy. The objective of this
