` ::::::::: I tried to translate the article - the English is not the best - i get confused from translating so it might be a bit german not english in terms of grammar - and the Links are not set for most of the article. And I could and am willing to add to this as i read Sassens Book and several other articles by her and others concerning the topic. The Article is to be found under: /Temp Translation of Global Cities in German Wikipedia. Please be aware that the term ``global city`` is economic - rooted in neo-marxist theory. And the the term of world city is not. Thats the central point of my critique. — roman aka as  `
