Description: Global Cities, Governance and Diplomacy : The Urban Link, Hardcover by Acuto, Michele, ISBN 0415660882, ISBN-13 9780415660884, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Arguing that international relations scholars have been blinded to the importance of cities because of their traditional focus on the state, Acuto (a fellow in the Oxford Programme for the Future of Cities, U. of Oxford, England) asks, "What is the influence of global cities [such as New York, London, or Tokyo] in the contemporary evolution of global governance and diplomacy?" He seeks an answer to the question by using structuration theory from political sociology in order to analyze the diplomatic capacity to produce structures that impact the geographies of global governance and scalar analysis from human geography to address how the city realizes these structures geopolitically. This theoretical perspective is tested against the empirical cases of London and its involvement in transnational city networks and global city involvement in the Climate Leadership Group.
