{"product_id":"urban-foreign-policy-and-domestic-nico-van-der-heiden-9781907301070","title":"Urban Foreign Policy and Domestic Dilemmas: Insights from Swiss and EU City-regions","description":"City-regions have gained economic and political power in the process of globalisation. 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 analyses Swiss and EU 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 EU levels. Understanding the role of the EU in city-regions' international activities is crucial for comprehending recent trends in urban governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nico Van Der Heiden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907301070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907301070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECPR Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Nico Van Der Heiden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425410203903,"sku":"9781907301070","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9bf1d6f-ce26-4df5-8634-fc20cfaacb91.jpg?v=1761539027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-foreign-policy-and-domestic-nico-van-der-heiden-9781907301070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
