Review Quotes: " It [the book] is valuable as a starting point for future empirical research on urban diplomacy and provides valuable teaching material for graduate courses. Its style and length make Urban Diplomacy suitable for broader audiences in the fields of urban studies and international relations. By developing a deeper understanding of city diplomacy the book can inform political practice and public policy addressing urban challenges that have global significance." - Alejandra Trejo-Nieto, El Colegio de Mexico, Mexico, in Journal of Urban Affairs, 2022.
