SynopsisThroughout North America cities are strategically planning their own economic development activities and establishing relations and linkages with other cities. This book explores how cities are emerging as important actors in the international economy. The contributors address: the politics of international engagement; cities and their relations with the international economy; cross-border interaction and networking in North America; and perspectives on internationalization. The material in the book is drawn from economics, urban studies and international relations., As the global economy becomes ever more interconnected, what role will North American cities play? What challenges will North American cities encounter as they become more integrated in the world economy? The contributors to this groundbreaking volume examine these questions and offer a candid analysis of urban economics in a global age. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, contributors address such salient issues as the politics of international engagement, planning strategic linkages between cities, cross-border interaction and networking in North America, wage polarization, and urban competitiveness. Scholars and students in the fields of urban studies, economics, international studies, and urban planning will find this an invaluable resource. In addition, this volume will also serve a key resource for city practitioners.
