This chapter sets out five main reasons why there is no such thing as 'best practice' when it comes to international city-to-city learning and dialogue. The chapter then considers the nature of international exchange and distinguishes three overlapping levels of analysis: 1) Ideological and political forces; 2) Ideas in good currency; and 3) The agency exercised by place-based leaders. The concept of city-to-city lesson drawing is then introduced and it is suggested that, provided lesson drawing focuses on 'relevant practice', not 'best practice', it offers a promising way forward for international comparative action/research. A framework for understanding the various dimensions of international lesson drawing is presented and a concluding section provides suggestions on how to improve city-to-city learning in the future.
