Cases covered include US city governments’ involvement in the nuclear free zone movement, the Central American crisis and the anti-Apartheid movement throughout the 1980s. A theoretical synthesis of literature in world society theory, diplomatic studies and social movement theory is used to explain the normative, macro-sociological, legal, demo-cratic and sociopolitical dynamics of contentious city-government intervention in  foreign affairs. Emphasizing the normative processes at play, this article argues through a world society theoretical interpretation that ‘municipal foreign policy’ efforts repre-sent local-level codification of universal norms that the US federal government either neglected to enforce or directly violated. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/70g1t704 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 Leffel, Benjamin https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6vm1t86c Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Winter 1987-88 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6vm1t86c Thu, 1 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9gz419kk Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Spring 1988 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9gz419kk Fri, 30 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9zf2f0j8 Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Summer 1990 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9zf2f0j8 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9ws4z10h Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Spring 1991 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9ws4z10h Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mb1g818 Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Winter 1990-91 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mb1g818 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5279x0kj Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Spring 1990 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5279x0kj Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4c9726d5 Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Autumn 1990 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4c9726d5 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3f77d90h Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Autumn 1988 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3f77d90h Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/34k82752 Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Winter 1989-90 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/34k82752 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9ps6f4n7 Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Summer 1989 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9ps6f4n7 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pd8q4rv Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Summer / Autumn 1987 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pd8q4rv Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/69x362p9 Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Spring 1989 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/69x362p9 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5dk342qm Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Winter 1988-1989 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5dk342qm Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4m83g304 <p>INDEXA Message from the Editor/1GeneralWhy Cities Are Entering International Affairs: An Overview/3Mayor Tom Bradley Urges Cities to Enter Foreign Affairs/5Wall Street Journal Blasts Municipal Activism/7Mayor Koch's Response: We Need More Anti-Apartheid Measures/9Business Professor's Response: Local/Federal OverlapsInevitable/10CID's Response: City Policies Unstoppable/10European Leaders Urge City Assistance to the Third World/12Local ActionsWhat Cities Are Doing: An Overview/13Educational MeasuresCambridge Peace Commission Gets Funding for PeaceCurriculum/16New Haven Temporarily Renames Street for Bishop Tutu/16Saint Paul to Educate Citizens on How to Prevent NuclearWar/16Nonbinding Resolutions176 Jurisdictions Now Support A Comprehensive Test Ban/17New Haven Resolutions on South Africa, Arms Race, andIreland/19Saint Paul's Resolution on Central America/19LobbyingAnti-GWEN Efforts Convince Congress to Slash Program/20Oregon Health Division Sending Gorbachev Chernobyl Bill/20Policing... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4m83g304 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qq2m78c Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Spring 1987 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qq2m78c Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2t11z54g Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Autumn 1989 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2t11z54g Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2jc943cg Bulletin of Municipal Foreign Policy - Summer 1988 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2jc943cg Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy
