The role of Australian local government in economic development: Building international engagement capacity
Sister city relationships (SCRs) are a platform through which local governments (LGs) engage internationally. Increasingly, there is an expectation that such international engagement delivers economic opportunities and returns. Many LGs are therefore pursuing local economic development (LED) through their SCRs. Drawing on a national survey of Australian LGs (stage 1) and interviews with key council staff and stakeholders in five LG areas maintaining Australia–China SCRs (stage 2), this paper contributes to growing literature on LED by examining how LGs have developed their own capacities and supported local small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage internationally. Our findings reveal insights into how Australian LGs have achieved international engagement through two strategies that leverage their SCRs, namely building government's capabilities and developing SMEs’ capabilities. This paper contributes new insights into the evolving role of LGs in LED, including both current experimentation, challenges, and future opportunities.
Points for practitioners
A growing number of Australian local governments pursue LED through their Chinese sister city relationships.
Supporting the internationalisation of SMEs is an emerging component of local government pursuit of LED.
International engagement of local governments has necessitated enhanced capacities in human, external, and financial resources.
Findings highlight the unique and often overlooked role of local-to-local diplomatic and economic relations.
