Bouteligier's insightful turn to emphasize globalizing urban networks get us past the usual crusty categorizations of some cities as global-and most as not. Her book does the hard empirical and critical work that enables a basic rethinking of the possibilities for innovative environmental governance. It is compelling. -Paul James, RMIT University Australia Bouteligier's extensive and empirically rich study of networks of consultancy firms, non-governmental organizations and municipal governments sheds new light on how, why, and with what implications cities are playing a role in global environmental governance. It provides an important bridging point between the literatures on globalization, global cities, and environmental governance, and will be an important reference point for scholars engaged in these increasingly intertwined debates. - Harriet Bulkeley, Durham University
