This paper analyzes the international relations of subnational actors. First, it focuses on local governments and summarizes the main concepts used for its description. From them, it makes a proposal that fits the reality of the municipal governments of Argentina through the conceptualization of subnational international politics. Second, it establishes a measurement tool to set parameters on the profile and trajectory of the external actions of local governments through the level of international participation. In short, the article represents a breakthrough in providing a comprehensive thematic approach from which to address the international participation of sub-national actors.
