City Hall Goes Abroad provides a systematic examination of local
activism, specifically city governments acting on international
issues. It delineates the growth of these activities in the past
two decades, focusing on four issues: the comprehensive test ban,
nuclear-free zone declarations, divestment from South Africa, and
sanctuary for Central American refugees. This book is useful in
understanding not only these specific issues and the cities that
have acted on them, but the general phenomenon of nonstate activism
that has emerged and the direction of this activism in the 1990s
and beyond. This unique volume examines the subject matter from
both a descriptive and quantitative perspective. The comprehensive
way in which the topic is addressed will be of interest to
academics, activists, and government practitioners as well as
students of urban politics, local government, foreign policy, and
international relations. "Heidi H. Hobbs is to be commended for
producing a book that should be required reading for any student of
foreign policy making--by central and noncentral governments--and
that advances the analysis of the global activities of American
municipal governments. --Canadian Journal of Urban Research
