City-regions have gained economic and political power in the
process of globalization. Many of them use this power to develop
their own international activities. This book investigates why
city-regions go global and the consequences of their newly gained
self-confidence on the international scale. The book analyzes Swiss
and European Union city-regions' international activities with
seven in-depth case studies. The book shows that the local economic
setting, and the political response in developing international
activities, are closely linked. Not only has urban politics changed
due to its international dimension, but also the interplay between
the core city, the agglomeration communities, the regional, the
national, and European Union levels. Understanding the role of the
European Union in city-regions' international activities is crucial
for comprehending recent trends in urban governance, and in this
book, Nico van der Heiden has unveiled key factors in this
process.
