Megjegyzések:	Since the mid-1980s, it has become increasingly popu-lar to research contemporary economic globalization through the lens of cities (see, for instance, Castells, 1996; Friedmann, 1986; Sassen, 1991; Taylor, 2004). One strand of research thereby focuses on the global ♭command-and-control function' of major cities, which is often measured through the presence of corporate headquarters of major multinational enterprises (MNEs; see, for instance, Alderson and Beckfield, 2004; Godfrey and Zhou, 1999; Taylor et al., 2009). Following this lead, this commentary has three related purposes. First, we aim to take stock of how European cities have fared as global command-and-control cen-tres in the wake of the financial crisis in 2008 and the lingering Euro crisis throughout most of 2011. To this end, we explore the shifting positions of leading European cities in their role as MNE headquarter loca-tions in the period 2006-11. Second, based on an inter-pretation of our empirical findings, we critically interrogate the conceptual purchase of MNE headquar-ter location as a measure of the command-and-control function of cities. Third, using Castells' (1992) work on the 'Informational City', we briefly explore the possi-ble long-term consequences for European cities.
