While Madison is far from foreign countries and international borders, itâ??s home to many people who delve into international problems, some working at an individual and grass-roots level.
The cityâ??s international sensibility and influence come through in its 10 sister-city relationships and its international student population of nearly 4,000. More than 1,000 people from the Madison area have served in the Peace Corps, said spokeswoman Christine Torres.
