Summary:

Amen (U. of South Florida, US), Toly (Wheaton College, US), McCarney (U. of Toronto, Canada), and Segbers (Free U. of Berlin, Germany) present a volume of ten papers connecting the analysis of cities (and other sub-national units) to the study of international relations and global studies. Opening chapters review theoretical concerns of understanding globalizing city regions, while the remaining chapters present case studies addressing the role of sub-national formal and informal political actors in global governance, with each focusing on one of three sub-themes: "the diverse ways in which cities and sub-national regions impact nation-state foreign policy; the various dimensions of urban imbrications in global environmental politics; or the multiple methods and standards used to measure the global role of cities."
