World Cities and Nation States takes a global perspective to show how national governments and states/provinces/regions continue to play a decisive, and often positive, partnership role with world cities. The 16 chapter book – comprised of two introductory chapters, 12 central chapters that draw on case studies, and two summary chapters - draws on over 40 interviews with national ministers, city government officials, business leaders and expert academics.

The Business of Cities explores the re-urbanisation of business, discussing cities as emerging markets for firms, the re-urbanisation of business locations, the growth of "city building" as a newly globalising industry, the urbanisation of capital, cities as "test markets" for larger geographies and businesses adopting city brands and city marketing approaches.
