Focusing on Greece in particular, it examines 164 municipalities involved in more than 250 European city networks to shed light on the various factors that affect cities? capacities to act as international actors. The book demonstrates that the participation of Greek municipalities in European city networks has entailed changes to local political structures, policies and procedures, as well as the strengthening of a ?European? identity and the creation of long-term partnerships. At the same time, these changes have often clashed with bureaucratic traditions and unfavorable economic conditions, which have mitigated the reformatory potential of European city networking. Providing important insights into city diplomacy and Europeanization, the book will appeal to scholars and students of public administration, European integration and political science, as well as professionals and practitioners. . 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aUrban policy 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aUrban Policy 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aDiplomacy 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aUrban policy. 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aUrban Policy. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aDiplomacy. 676 $a320.85094 676 $a320.85094 700 $aKarvounis$b Antonios$01369359 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910731456703321 996 $aCity Diplomacy and the Europeanisation of Local Government$93395527 997 $aUNINA
