Diplomatie des villes: collectivites territoriales et relations internationales

In: Politique étrangère: PE ; revue trimestrielle publiée par l'Institut Français des Relations Internationales, Heft 3, S. 593-604

Abstract

International actions by States are being affected by the new diplomacies of local authorities & non-central governments. The latter are seeking to define collectively a specific identity on the international stage. This is especially the case of large metropolises, whose internationalization is a fundamental phenomenon. Various types of "local" diplomacies exist today, which are both isomorphic & complementary to State actions. Adapted from the source document.
