Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In 1987, Duluth, Minnesota, in the Midwestern United States, and Petrozavodsk, in what is now Russia, officially joined hands as sister cities. Douglas C. Nord tells the stories of their collaboration in the context of the late Cold War. He covers in ethnographic detail the lived experiences of city officials, community leaders, academics, and average citizens who worked to bridge the divide between the United States and the Soviet Union. What circumstances supported or undermined efforts to conduct people-to-people diplomacy? What internal difficulties emerged, and how were they overcome? And what were the short-term effects and long-term consequences of the relationships forged in these postindustrial cities, across the EastWest divide?Sister City Diplomacy offers an historical account of citizen diplomacy set in a unique political and social environment.
