Another Global City. Historical Explorations into the Transnational Municipal Moment 1850-2000, Shane Ewen and Pierre-Yves Saunier (Ed.) (2008) 1-18

Introduction: Global City, Take 2: A View from Urban History

Pierre-Yves Saunier 1

(2008)

This introduction takes stock of the disjuncture between several seams of urban studies and historical research. Scholars who paid attention to global cities and the internationalization ofmunicipal government have focused on the recent decades. Their position was based on the view that cities became irrelevant with the rise of the nation state, and only recently returned as independent actors. It suggests ways to reckon with the 'transnational municipal moment' in its different forms since the mid 19th century. From then onwards, not only cities were increasingly part of a transnational municipalization trend, but they also actively exchanged know hows and policies through study tours, conferences or correspondence. To account for continuity and changes in these activities, this piece suggests to consider the circulatory regimes that have shaped and oriented these connections among and about municipal urban governments.
