Sommario/riassunto

CAiSE '91, held at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in May 1991, is the third in a series of conferences on advanced information systems engineering. The call for papers for CAiSE '91 was given a wide international distribution. The programme committee was chosen from very well reputed researchers in the international information systems engineering community, as well as key professionals in European industrial and consultant companies. The number and quality of papers submitted was very satisfactory, and 29 papers were selected for publication in this volume.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the growing role of cities and regions as sub-national actors in shaping global governance. Far from being merely carried along by global forces, cities have become active players in making and maintaining the networks and connections that give shape to contemporary globalization. Exploring examples from Europe, North America and beyond, the authors reconcile the two separate, yet



complimentary, theoretical and analytical lenses adopted by Urban Studies and International Relations, as they address the nature of ‘cities’ and ‘internationality’. The authors challenge academic debate that is reluctant to cross disciplinary boundaries and thus offer more relevant answers to the new phenomenon of international city action, and how it weakens the traditional prerogative of the state as primary actor in the international realm. Conclusions focus on how this new internationality opens opportunities for cities and regions but also contains potential pitfalls that can constrain policy options and challenge the legitimacy of policy making at all scales.
