Caracterización, tipificación y análisis de su rol como actor internacional en la gobernanza global Sánchez, Natalia relaciones internacionales gobiernos subnacionales redes transnacionales de gobiernos subnacionales grupo principal de autoridades locales international relations subnational governments transnational networks of subnational governments major group of local authorities In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of transnational networks of subnational governments, which have configured a complex and plural ecosystem. This paper analyzed transnational networks of subnational governments in the international system from the globalist approach of International Relations and with the theoretical contributions of paradiplomacy and network analysis. To that end, it first characterized the units that form the networks and then it defined what a transnational network of subnational governments is, describing its typology and functions. Then, it analyzed the status of these networks in the United Nations, with a special focus on the sustainable development agenda. The study followed a qualitative methodological design and consisted of the examination, review and discussion of specialized literature and the analysis of documentary sources. The findings show that these networks are international actors that represent the voice and shared interests of subnational governments, mobilize resources, facilitate cooperation and assume a collective political positioning in multilateral organizations in an attempt to influence global development agendas. Moreover, they differ from other networks in their main composition: subnational governments endowed with autonomy and legitimacy. En los últimos años se ha registrado un incremento de la cantidad de redes transnacionales de gobiernos subnacionales que existen, lo que configura un ecosistema complejo y plural. Este escrito analiza las redes transnacionales de gobiernos subnacionales en el sistema internacional desde el enfoque globalista de las Relaciones Internacionales y con los aportes teóricos de la paradiplomacia y el análisis de redes. Para ello, primero se caracterizó a las unidades que componen las redes para luego definir qué es una red transnacional de gobiernos subnacionales y dar cuenta de su tipología y funciones. Luego, se analizó el estatus que estas redes tienen en Naciones Unidas, con foco especial en la agenda de desarrollo sostenible. El trabajo siguió un diseño metodológico cualitativo y consistió en el examen, revisión y discusión de la literatura especializada y el relevamiento y análisis de fuentes documentales. Como resultado se destaca que estas redes son actores internacionales que representan la voz e intereses compartidos de los gobiernos subnacionales, movilizan recursos, facilitan la cooperación y asumen un posicionamiento político colectivo en organizaciones multilaterales para intentar influir en las agendas globales de desarrollo. Además, se diferencian de otras redes por su principal composición: gobiernos subnacionales dotados de autonomía y legitimidad.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of transnational networks of subnational governments, which have configured a complex and plural ecosystem.

To that end, it first characterized the units that form the networks and then it defined what a transnational network of subnational governments is, describing its typology and functions.
