There has been little research into sister-city type relationships (SCTRs) in Australia especially at the local government level. This paper begins to address the issue by discussing the framework within which SCTRs have operated. First the paper outlines the three main aspects of SCTRs; the associative, the reciprocative and the commercial. It argues that associative relationships are based upon notions of international friendship, cultural exchange and a general international awareness while reciprocative relationships involve the growth of an international educational exchange system. The newer commercial factor emphasises the importance of local economic development. Secondly, the paper discusses these three elements in the context of a survey conducted in 1999 of local governments involved in SCTRs in Australia. The paper concludes by arguing that the debate over the role of SCTRs in Australia has now begun to emerge as a real issue for local governments
