Studying paradiplomacy comparatively, this book explains why and
how sub-state governments (SSG) conduct their international
relations (IR) with external actors, and how federal authorities
and local governments coordinate, or not, in the definition and
implementation of the national foreign policy. Sub-state diplomacy
plays an increasingly influential international role as regions,
federal states, provinces and cities seek to promote trade,
investments, cooperation and partnership on a range of issues. This
raises interesting new questions about the future of the state
system. Schiavon conducts a comparative study of paradiplomacy in
11 federal systems which are representative of all the regions of
the world, stages of economic development and degree of
consolidation of their democratic institutions (Argentina,
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Mexico, Russia,
South Africa and the United States). The author constructs a
typology to measure and explain paradiplomacy based on domestic
political institutions, especially constitutional provisions
relating foreign affairs and the intergovernmental mechanisms for
foreign policy decision making and implementation. This
comparative, systematic and theoretically based analysis of
paradiplomacy between and within countries will be of interest to
scholars and students of comparative politics, diplomacy, foreign
policy, governance and federalism, as well as practitioners of
diplomacy and paradiplomacy around the world.
