The Expanding Role of State and Local Governments in U.S. Foreign Affairs

More about the book

The book examines the dual trends of increasing global integration and the decentralization of power from national to local governments. Earl Fry analyzes how state and local authorities are gaining influence in foreign affairs as Americans engage more with the world through trade, immigration, and technology. He argues that the federal government struggles to manage these complex interactions, highlighting the need for a collaborative approach among various levels of government in conducting international relations.
