The City as a Global Political Actor

About The City as a Global Political Actor

This book engages with the thorny question of global urban political agency. It critically assesses the now popular statement that in the context of paralysed and failing nation-state governments, cities can and will provide leadership in addressing global challenges. Collectively, the chapters in this volume contextualise urban agency in time and space and pluralise it by looking at how urban agency is nurtured through coalitions between a wide range of public and private actors. It is highly recommended reading for scholars in the fields of international relations and urban studies who are looking for an interdisciplinary and empirically grounded understanding of global urban political agency, in a diversity of contexts and a plurality of forms.
