迄今为止，人们对城市在世界政治中的作用还没有多少兴趣。然而，一些基于城市的交往例子表明城市在国际关系中的存在正在兴起。尽管气候领导小组成立不久，但它可能是大都市与全球治理交叉的最重要案例。为了说明这一点，我依靠行动者网络理论 (ANT) 对过去七年中 C40 从市政领导人的有限聚会发展成为与世界银行合作的跨国组织的演变进行了定性网络分析。针对双外交/规划方法的展开，C40 的演变可以展示全球城市作为全球环境政治参与者的关键作用。这些城市在绘制气候治理新版图方面发挥着关键作用，促进了针对创新和混合联系的亚政治决策安排的兴起。然而，仍然存在一些重要的理性连续性，特别是新自由主义，这最终限制了这些城市在国际关系方面可能具有的革命潜力。
Little interest has thus far been paid to the role of cities in world politics. Yet, several are the examples of city-based engagements suggesting an emerging urban presence in international relations. The Climate Leadership Group, despite its recent lineage, is perhaps the most significant case of metropolitan intersection with global governance. To illustrate this I rely on Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to develop a qualitative network analysis of the evolution of the C40 in the past seven years from a limited gathering of municipal leaders to a transnational organisation partnering with the World Bank. Pinpointed on the unfolding of a twin diplomacy/planning approach, the evolution of the C40 can demonstrate the key role of global cities as actors in global environmental politics. These cities have a pivotal part in charting new geographies of climate governance, prompting the rise of subpolitical policymaking arrangements pinpointed on innovative and hybrid connections. Yet, there remains some important rational continuity, in particular with neoliberalism, which ultimately limits the revolutionary potential these cities might have for international relations.
