Summary:

This book explores the factors and strategies that influence how governance networks attract international organizations to cities such as Geneva, The Hague, Vienna, and Copenhagen between 1995 and 2015. Through case studies and theoretical perspectives, the author examines instrumental, discursive, and relational approaches to explain the success or failure of these cities in hosting international organizations. The work delves into interurban competition, policy design, and the role of government and network collaboration in shaping outcomes. Aimed at scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in governance, international relations, and urban studies, this study provides insights into the dynamics of global organizational placement and its broader implications for urban development and international cooperation.
