How international?
U.S. Cities in the World Cities Network is a study from the Brookings Institution that identifies cities that have most connections to international cities, including Miami. Even though Miami is more international than many cities, Brookings believes we need to go further:
"New York and Miami are the least locally oriented of U.S. cities, but even they are far more U.S.-centric in their connections than most European cities are EU-centric... Cities able to grow and attract globally-connected, high-value service firms can access, and benefit from, a worldwide array of customers, workers, and contracted services, ultimately boosting quality growth at home."
