Resumo(s)
This paper adds to the literature on urban diplomacy by
focusing on the role of smaller cities with an active
international engagement in migration matters. What
are the motives driving the involvement of these “ordinary” cities in international groupings? What role do
these cities play in the circulation of policies related to
migration integration? How does it translate into local
policies? To do so, we rely on a quantitative analysis of
64 networks around the world and on the case study of
Amadora (Portugal). It is argued that “ordinary” cities
may gain visibility when participating in transnational
networks of cities. However, the research also shows
that the city involvement is driven by the search for
financial capacities, thereby nurturing a form of dependency from international subsidies. In addition,
Amadora's involvement in city networks is not necessarily connected with actual activism in favor of
migrant integration. The research shows the tensions
between political discourses at national and local
levels, and the loopholes of the “transnationalization”
of migration governance.
