“…Another implicit TMN activity could be labelled “storytelling,” the search for an alternative narrative on migration that sets the city apart from restrictive national policies and contributes to its identity. In a policy domain subject to heated local and national debates, urban actors often actively search for a narrative to convince those opposed to the need to strengthen refugee welcome and integration (Graham et al 2016, 181; Bauder 2017). Such a narrative, according to many mayors, couples local culture and tradition to wider global struggles and objectives.…”

“…At the same time, however, Bologna's example also highlights the importance of local strategic alliances that represent the consensual side of urban politics of human rights. Such strategic alliances are arguably the bedrock of HRCs (Graham et al 2016, Neubeck 2016.

“…Viewed through the prism of the broader HRCs literature, Bologna's case highlights a common thread in HRCs: a relatively broad local coalition between public and civil society actors advocating for human rights (despite any internal conflicts) and a confrontation with a higher level of government (predominantly the national) over a contentious issue pertaining to access to or realisation of rights (migration, austerity measures, etc.) (Graham et al 2016, Kaufman and Ward 2017, Smith 2017, Baumgärtel and Oomen 2019, Roodenburg 2019, see also Chapter 4 in Hirschl 2020). Consequently, and taking into account the above discussion on the multi-level nature of urban politics, such HRCs can be interpreted as a response to a conflict between legality and perceived justice, which is manifested at the local level.…”

“…Discussing the implementation of global urban justice in York (United Kingdom), Graham, Gready, Hoddy and Pennington (2016) elucidate the importance of enthusiastic individuals or initiators to expand to the formation of broader coalitions that include both governmental and non-governmental parties. The York Human Rights City project included the Council of York City, the international Service and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, and also other local social justice organizations and the university.…”
