Abstract
At the intersection of globalization and urbanization, cities have stepped into the international arena and engaged in networking formal organizations of policy-making and learning. Among these city networks, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) is the largest at global level and the inheritor of a century-old municipal movement. UCLG is increasingly perceived as a legitimate actor within the state-centric global governance architecture. It promotes, accommodates, and organizes the networked orchestration of the political agency of cities in the global urban era around policy issues that have long exceeded the monopolistic notion of national sovereignty.
