For Universities, Research Centers, NGOs
Local governmental bodies as well as territorial public authorities at the sub-state level, as both political-administrative authorities and democratically elected bodies delegated to represent territorial civil communities, implement an autonomous system of trans-local foreign relations. Such a model, widely known among scholars in international relations as city diplomacy , has gradually established itself as a growing alternative to the classic model of intergovernmental international relations.
This study aims to offer some guidelines on this topic, moving from the observation of trans-local and foreign practices enacted by local governments in their network associative forms to the field of the human rights protection, at the same time analysing some legal perspectives potentially adaptable to them in order to define their nature, subjectivity, and reasonable means of legal guardianship that should be granted to them in international fora.
Far from providing answers, this study moreover intends to help stimulate the debate between jurists and public sector practitioners on the classification and subjectivity of substate governments in light of the current systems of international law, transnational law and international relations.
Our firm is dedicated to fostering collaboration with universities, research centers, NGOs, and foundations worldwide that are actively engaged in the study, research, and implementation of initiatives focused on Cultural Identity. We believe that the protection and promotion of Cultural Identity is an inviolable civil and social right, fundamental to the dignity and empowerment of individuals and communities.
We are always ready to provide our expertise, collaborate, and actively participate in long-term research initiatives. Whether conducted remotely or through other tailored arrangements, we aim to contribute meaningfully to advancing research in this critical area.
Our extensive experience in global relations and transnational law highlights the transformative potential of soft power for local and regional communities. Through strategic use of cultural diplomacy and effective policy design, these communities can significantly enhance the global perception of their cultural identity.
By leveraging Local and City Diplomacy, furthermore, communities can assert their unique values and heritage on the international stage, creating opportunities for collaboration, mutual understanding, and influence. This approach not only strengthens cultural self-awareness but also fosters meaningful global connections, empowering communities to shape their own narratives and assert their presence in a competitive global landscape.
Our firm is uniquely positioned to support these efforts. We provide the legal, strategic, and policy expertise necessary to turn aspirations into actionable outcomes, ensuring that cultural identity becomes a recognized and respected force in global relations.
A Comprehensive, Results-Oriented Approach
We adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective, combining theoretical depth with practical implementation. Our expertise in policy design and transnational law allows us to develop projects that are actionable, empirically grounded, and results-driven.
Our background in scientific research and teaching further enhances the value we bring to collaborations. This ensures that our contributions not only meet the highest international standards of academic rigor but also deliver meaningful and measurable outcomes for all stakeholders involved.
Supporting Research Across Disciplines
Our broad-spectrum approach enables us to contribute to a wide range of disciplines within the social and human sciences.

This versatility makes us an ideal partner for interdisciplinary research initiatives that aim to explore the multifaceted dimensions of Cultural Identity and its protection.
Building Long-Term Partnerships
We are particularly interested in engaging with long-term research initiatives, whether they are supported by foundations, universities, NGOs, or research centers. Our flexibility in working remotely or through hybrid models ensures that we can seamlessly integrate into research teams, regardless of geographical location.
Our goal is to contribute to projects that not only explore innovative approaches to Cultural Identity but also produce concrete, actionable results.
We invite universities, research centers, NGOs, and foundations to reach out and explore how we can contribute to your initiatives. Together, we can help create groundbreaking research and practical solutions that address the complex challenges of protecting and promoting Cultural Identity in an interconnected world.
