About this episode
The episode discusses urban diplomacy and its potential to enhance Taiwan's global presence, highlighted by Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego's visit to Taipei.
Taiwan's presence on the global stage is often hindered due to international politics. But, the recent visit to Taipei by Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego points to a practical solution. As Tamkang Univeristy professor of Diplomacy and International Affairs James Chen explains, urban diplomacy opens diplomacy at the subnational level, and can lead to practical and positive solutions which impact our everyday lives.
