Cities have become increasingly important to global politics, but
have largely occupied a peripheral place in the academic study of
International Relations (IR). This is a notable oversight for the
discipline, although one which may be explained by IR's traditional
state centrism, the subjugation of the city to the demands of the
territorial state in the modern period, and a lack of conceptual
and analytical frameworks that can allow scholars to include the
impact of cities within their work. Presenting case-specific
scholarship from leading experts in the field, each contribution
guides the reader through the changing nature of cities in the
international system and their increasing prominence in global
governance outcomes. The book features case studies on the
financial power of cities, city action in the security domain,
collaboration of cities in coping with environmental problems,
transnational urban regions, and mayors as international actors to
illustrate if the relationship between the city and the state has
changed in profound ways, and how cities are empowered by
structural changes in world politics. The multidisciplinary and
global focus in The Power of Cities in International Relations
sheds much needed light on the significance of the reemergence of
cities from the long shadow of the nation-state. Only by examining
the mechanisms that have empowered cities in the last few decades
can we understand their new functions and capabilities in global
politics.
