Description
Accompanying the oft-noted globalization of international relations, there is an equally significant trend towards "localization", as a range of subnational constituencies and the authorities that represent them respond to externally-generated pressures on the one hand, and seek to exploit enhanced opportunities to operate in the international arena on the other. This book examines developments in the trend towards "localization" in the context of growing international involvement of the non-central governments within federal states. It employs case studies, and argues that the significance of these developments can best be understood as one facet of an increasingly complex, multilayered diplomacy as national policy makers are forced to negotiate simultaneously with domestic and foreign interests in the pursuit of policy objectives.
