Synopsis "Sister City Diplomacy: Community Engagement in U. Si -Russian Relations From the Cold war to Today"

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 East-West divide? Sister City Diplomacy offers a historical account of citizen diplomacy set in a unique political and social environment. But in its theoretical grounding and informed arguments, this study speaks to much broader and contemporary concerns, both in terms of United States-Russian relations today and with regard to the challenges and opportunities of community-based diplomacy in general. Lessons learned along the shores of lakes Superior and Onega in the last days of the Cold War hold great value given the heightened tensions of current geopolitics.
