“…In the course of studies of the international role of subnational units, numerous new terms and concepts have been adopted, such as microdiplomacy, protodiplomacy, paradiplomacy (Duchacek 1986(Duchacek , 1990Soldatos 1990), multilevel diplomacy (Hocking 1993(Hocking , 2004, federative diplomacy, and federative foreign policy (Rodrigues 2008). However, the term 'paradiplomacy' has prevailed internationally as a way of describing the international actions of subnational units (Aguirre 1999;Kuznetsov 2015;Tavares, 2016).…”

Abstract:In a phenomenon known as paradiplomacy, cities are playing an increasingly important role in international relations. Through paradiplomacy, cities are co-operating internationally with other cities, and city networks have become important spaces for sharing experiences of and best practices in local public policy. Moreover, security policy is a increasingly important part of local policy-making. In Latin America, the concept of citizen security, based on a democratic and human rights approach, has developed in response to the legacy of authoritarian regimes from the 1960s to the 1980s. This article examines how security policies have been disseminated, discussed and transferred through Mercocities, the main city network in South America.

“…Other new and complex problems such as increased migration and climate change also demanded political experimentation (John 2001). Local authorities accepted responsibility for addressing these problems in part because of declining confidence in the foreign policy capability of nation-states (Hocking 1993). They were also encouraged in this direction by new sources of funding and authority at the level above the nation-state, especially the European level (John 2001, Keating 1999 (Brenner and Theodore 2002a).…”

“…cities, regions, non-governmental organisations and so on (Aldecoa andKeating 1999, Duchacek 1990); 'multilayered diplomacy' emphasises the interaction between these internationally involved non-central governments and nation-states (Hocking 1993(Hocking , 1999; and 'post-diplomacy' or 'beyond diplomacy' specifies the character of this interaction which is more entangled than parallel (Aguirre 1999). It is particularly in this comparative politics literature that discussion of the new localism overlaps with discussion of a 'new regionalism' or 'new federalism'.…”

In what sense ‘spaces of neoliberalism’? The new localism, the new politics of scale, and town twinning

This paper draws on a study of town twinning in Britain since 1945 to engage with narratives of 'the new localism' and 'the new politics of scale'. It argues that town twinning is often used in technical assistance programmes such as the UK Government's Know How Fund and various schemes of the Commonwealth Local Government Forum.'Fast policy' is a concept that can be usefully applied to these programmes and the broader field of interurban networking, urban policy mobility, and policy transfer. Town twinning plays an active yet overlooked role in fast policy. The paper also argues that town twinning is part of a longer history of bottom-up localism that includes the political arguments of John Stuart Mill, at least two moments of twentieth-century municipal internationalism, the municipal foreign policy movement of the 1980s, and the community development movement of the last three decades. This longer history suggests sources of localism other than statecraft, and problematises the conceptualisation of power and periodisation of history found in regulation theories of devolution. KeywordsThe new localism, the new politics of scale, town twinning, sister cities, fast policy, technical assistance.

“…En opinión de Brian Hocking (1993), "el término presume implícitamente intereses incompatibles" (citado en Criekemans, 2010, p. 62), ya que esto puede generar rechazo por parte de ciertos actores que participan u observan, ya sea como políticos, técnicos, académicos, ciudadanos. Debido a ello, propone el término "Diplomacia de Múltiples Capas/Niveles (Multilayered Diplomacy)" a través del que describe las vinculaciones y complementariedades entre la diplomacia estatal y no estatal.…”

ResumenLa actuación de las ciudades como fuerza política eficaz e influyente en la gobernanza global multinivel cobra cada vez más relevancia a partir del nuevo milenio. Una de las manifestaciones del potencial de la ciudad está, por ejemplo, en la provisión de soluciones a problemas locales que pueden ser escalables globalmente, y viceversa. De ahí el oportuno planteamiento de una agenda de investigación más allá de las establecidas por la paradiplomacia y la ciudad global que identifique categorías/variables clave que ayuden en la propuesta de trabajos de corte empírico, como puede ser la imagen, la * El presente artículo es resultado del proyecto "La inserción en el medio internacional de las ciudades modelo y sus políticas públicas", perteneciente al Cuerpo Académico en Creación "Las relaciones internacionales y las nuevas diplomacias".
