Maintains that despite the growing number of international, interurban organizations & their growing influence, their official status is ambiguous, especially since we are disinclined to think of cities as having autonomy. Evaluates the current ways of classifying such organizations by examining current official categories, especially those of the United Nations. Much of the terminological ambiguity revolves around whether such organizations should be described as 'inter-governmental' or 'non-governmental.' Further confusion is added by the existence in official documents of other categorizations such as 'partnerships,' 'organizations of elected officials,' & 'other international organizations.' Issues that arise include those of authority, including treaty-making capacities. Concludes that the increasing importance of such organizations requires additional thought regarding their status in relationship to more familiar categories. References. R. Ruffin
