Key words: globalization, global gateway, global economy, global city, Sydney, postcolonial states, concentration of resources, world rating.Ĭontemporary state of globalization to a large degree is characterized by concentration of economic, information, scientific, transport and other resources in the huge world centers regarded as the “gateways to the global economy” (Andersson, 2000). The authors have analyzed the secondary data and world ratings to come to conclusions. The study is based on the theoretical approaches developed by prominent political scientists, sociologists and urbanists. The authors are aimed at resolving the research problem by answering the main questions: what are the new resources provided by globalization, what is the potential of Sydney in terms of historical, economic, technological, cultural and political aspects and, finally, how the city uses globalization to preserve the status of a global city. Nowadays, the growing participation of other actors in the system of international relations has created the context within which new strategic territories as regions and cities extend their influence. The new concept of city operation within the globalization includes concentration of economic, information, scientific, transport and other resources in the huge world centers. The study is based on the analysis of Sydney as the example of global gateways. The article aims to disclose the main resources of globalization in order to explain the phenomenon of global cities.
