The article presents a phenomenon that is little known or thought about but existed since
the times of feudalism. I would say, in fact that it is a remnant of feudalism that always
existed in spite of the authority of national states since Metternich. The best known example is, of course the Mafia. At the turn of the Century there were Chinese organizations in the United States known as the "Tongs" that ruled over the Chinese neighborhoods. In terms of power there are close-knit corporations such as Dupont, which is the state of Maryland, though Dupont is about the last of a kind. The Dupont type of organization is mostly being replaced by corporations and syndicates that respect no national or civic location at all.
In terms of power and domination there exists more "Third space" than one would realize
from the jist of Sassen's article.

Name	Reason for supporting openDemocracy	Link Love
Peggy Mason	I believe that Open Democracy is a superb site. The first thing I do every Thursday morning is to read Paul Rogers' latest analysis on the GWOT. I cannot remember how many people I sent the Anthony Barnett analysis of Barack Obama and I regularly suggest the site to those unfamiliar with it. My only complaint is that there are not enough hours in the day to read all the excellent material offered there.	http://www.pom.peacebuild.ca/
anon	Made a modest donation in appreciation of the excellent provision of the flow of a very wide range of topical references. Almost all are of interest to me, and most are comments I would otherwise miss. The openDemocracy messages are definitely the most interesting ones in my daily mail: many thanks for all the work that must go into gathering them.	http://www.wdm.org.uk

Hanne Petersen	A much needed source of information for world society
Peter Rainey	I use and enjoy openDemocracy as a necessary and attractive antidote to the triviality, blandness and banality of so much of mainstream media.

John Melvin	To misquote Marx - openDemoracy might not change the world but it certainly helps us to understand it. It might , you never know, even help to change it. It brings us news and views that one could get nowhere else.	http://www.johnmelvinarchitects.co.uk Read the rest of this post... read more
