"his book engages with the thorny question of global urban political agency. It critically assesses the now popular statement that in the context of paralysed and failing nation-state governments, cities can and will provide leadership in addressing global challenges. Cities can act politically on the global scale, but the analysis of global urban political agency needs to be firmly embedded in the field of urban studies. Collectively, the chapters in this volume contextualise urban agency in time and space and pluralise it by looking at how urban agency is nurtured through coalitions between a wide range of public and private actors. The authors develop and critically assess the conceptual underpinnings of the notion of global urban political agency from a variety of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives. The second part contains several (theoretically informed) empirical analyses of global urban political agency in cities around the globe. This book geographically expands analysis by looking beyond global cities in diverse contexts. It is highly recommended reading for scholars in the fields of international relations and urban studies who are looking for an interdisciplinary and empirically grounded understanding of global urban political agency, in a diversity of contexts and a plurality of forms"

"ABSTRAKGlobal City merupakan salah satu bukti bahwa terdapat perkembangan isu kemunculan aktor internasional non-negara dalam kajian studi Hubungan Internasional. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis berbagai faktor yang mendorong Kota Hangzhou mampu mencapai predikat Global City. Dipilihnya Kota Hangzhou sebagai salah satu contoh kota yang mampu menggambarkan fenomena Global City saat ini karena penulis memiliki tujuan untuk melihat perkembangan Global City di negara berkembang dan kota lapis kedua. Dalam melakukan analisis, penulis menggunakan kerangka kerja analisis entrepreneurial city dan dibantu dengan pemahaman konsep diplomasi kota. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan menggunakan kerangka kerja analisis tersebut, penulis menemukan bahwa faktor internal dan eksternal yang berperan dalam meningkatkan daya saing Kota Hangzhou saling bersinergi dan memengaruhi satu sama lain. Hal penting yang dapat dipelajari dari berkembangnya Global City di Cina khususnya di Kota Hangzhou adalah faktor historis Cina pada masa proses keterbukaan menjadi dasar kuat kota-kota mereka untuk beradaptasi terhadap perkembangan. Secara umum tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa tidak ada karakteristik tunggal yang mampu menggambarkan Global City yang berkembang di seluruh kota-kota di dunia. Tren yang terjadi dalam isu perkembangan Global City saat ini telah menggambarkan bahwa Global City tidak lagi menjadi status yang otomatis melekat pada kota-kota di negara besar seperti apa yang dipahami oleh kota-kota di negara Barat. Namun, saat ini kota-kota lapis kedua di negara berkembang pun mampu bergerak ke arah integrasi perekonomian global dan memiliki peran dalam dinamika ekonomi politik global.
