SES-0802845Michael TimberlakeXiulian MaUniversity of UtahThe city-state relationship under globalization is problematic to policy makers and scholars of urbanization and comparative international development. To what extent is there evidence of growing cross-border articulation of a global system of cities? Just what is the nature of this relationship between "world cities" and the national states in which they are geographically situated? To what extent does the world city system articulate with the international system of nation states? To what extent does the city system represent a different, competing logic? This project is designed to address these questions, first by solving difficult data issues and by then using these data to carefully analyze, quantitatively through new network modeling procedures, the dimensions of global city networks over time and their correspondence (or lack of correspondence) to the international system of states. The research will develop network measures (primarily through inter-city air transportation data) of the global city network, and it will analyze these data through novel network analytic procedures. Several research groups are currently attacking this problem in complementary ways, and this project will produce substantial synergy with ongoing work on these important questions.Broader Impacts. Study results will be presented at scholarly meetings and in scholarly journals. Beyond the immediate intellectual goals of this project, the research will develop a longitudinal network database consisting of relations among oveer three hundred of the most important cities in the world. This database will be made publicly available to other researchers. In addition, the research will provide a new analytic approach to comparing overlapping and nested, networks, and it will be a key element in the doctoral training experience in sociology at the University of Utah.

SES-0802845Michael TimberlakeXiulian Ma 犹他大学全球化下的城邦关系对于城市化和比较国际发展的政策制定者和学者来说是个问题。 在多大程度上有证据表明全球城市体系的跨境联系日益增强？ “世界城市”与其地理位置所在的民族国家之间的这种关系的本质是什么？ 世界城市体系与民族国家国际体系的衔接程度如何？ 城市体系在多大程度上代表了一种不同的、相互竞争的逻辑？ 该项目旨在解决这些问题，首先解决困难的数据问题，然后使用这些数据通过新的网络建模程序进行仔细的定量分析，全球城市网络随时间的维度及其与国际国家体系的对应（或缺乏对应）。 该研究将开发全球城市网络的网络测量（主要通过城际航空运输数据），并将通过新颖的网络分析程序分析这些数据。 几个研究小组目前正在以互补的方式解决这个问题，该项目将与这些重要问题上正在进行的工作产生实质性的协同作用。更广泛的影响。 研究结果将在学术会议和学术期刊上发表。 除了该项目的直接智力目标之外，该研究还将开发一个纵向网络数据库，其中包含世界上三百多个最重要城市之间的关系。 该数据库将向其他研究人员公开。 此外，该研究还将提供一种新的分析方法来比较重叠和嵌套网络，这将成为犹他大学社会学博士培训经验的关键要素。
