Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on Management Capacity Building provides a lively spectrum of views on the problems and prospects of improving the management and performance of municipal governments in the United States. Leading specialists in public administration probe the management needs of local governments and explore ways in which they can improve their capacity to manage. Today, state and local governments are caught in the transition between the expansionism of the post-World War II years and the retrenchment era of the late seventies and eighties. Improved management capacity has emerged as the most effective way for local governments to ride out the economic and political pressures confronting them. This book first investigates the meaning of the term "management capacity." It then considers how management needs have changed in the post-war period and how these needs vary among large cities, suburbs, and rural communities. Two of the contributions explore the organizational politics of management improvement while others look at the functional areas of computers and financial management. The book also addresses human resource problems such as labor relations, management development, and training of municipal legislators, and concludes with several viewpoints on federal efforts to improve local management capacity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of local governance matters more than ever before. To many citizens, their local government is the most tangible form of government, and it is also the layer of government with which they have most contact in their everyday life. The power of the local administration is that it represents ordinary citizens. People eat, drink, work, play and socialize with others in towns and cities. To be fully effective, local government management and service delivery capacity needs to be strong, and resources need to be adequate. Civil society and businesses are essential actors in ensuring local governments have the capacity to meet the needs of its citizens. There are a host of challenges that confront local government in the 21st century: delivering quality services; lack of finance and local fiscal autonomy; engaging citizens and communities in meaningful and authentic ways; forming effective partnerships which incentivize local actors to find solutions to the many complex and intractable issues facing communities; generating inclusive and sustainable development; implementing strategies for disaster risk reduction; managing transparent communications; and, rapidly evolving technologies and socio-economic demographics. The Governance of Local Communities: Global Perspectives and Challenges is about the role that ideas, institutions, and actors play in structuring how people govern local communities and, more specifically, the types of adaptations necessary in local government roles and responsibilities, structures, and processes to effectively respond to a changing local government environment. Global changes require that we rethink local governance. A wide net of international experts on local governance was assembled for this volume to stimulate frank conversations around the many contemporary challenges facing local government.

Download or read book The Impact of Mandating on the Operational Capability of Local Government written by Julia Richard Ridgdill and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to determine the impact that mandating has upon the capacity of local government to meet the needs and demands of its citizens. Mandating imposes the will of an ordinate level of government upon a subordinate to alter its policies, processes, procedures, organizational structures, or the availability of revenues. Any impact would be demonstrated through a reduction in planned services, or the deferral of a project. Such displacement represents the substitution of an ordinate level priority for a locally determined priority. The device by which mandating has been institutionalized is the grant-in-aid. Acceptance of this grant-in-aid carries with it an acquiescence as to the conditions that must be complied with in the usage of these revenues. This creates a condition of dependency as pertains to fiscal and policy considerations. It was found that mandating creates significant barriers to the delivery of local public goods and services. The foremost feature is the usurpation of the policy making role by the mandating agency. This indicates a failure in the political system in that it did not provide clear and definitive roles and responsibilities for the competing actors. A second finding confirms the dependency argument. It was found that one county must rely upon grant income for 48 percent of its revenue: it is thus dependent upon that source; it has lost its autonomy. It is an administrator for an ordinate agency. The study compares sets of empirical data for Florida and Pennsylvania. It was postulated that there would be a marked difference in the two sets of data since Pennsylvania has a constitutional provision against mandating without reimbursement. The empirical data strongly supports this argument. The perceived effect of mandating in Pennsylvania was well below that for Florida. The likelihood of a mandate creating a displacement in Florida was more than twice that for Pennsylvania. Only one of eleven factors pertaining to personnel mandates were disfavored by the Pennsylvania respondents while seven of eleven were disfavored in Florida. These findings support the general argument that government by negotiation has been replaced by government by mandating. What is there to negotiate? The ordinate level attains all of its goals and objectives by mandating.

Book excerpt: This book provides unique insights into the role of policy capacity in policymaking and policy change, as it is being uncovered at the research frontier in contemporary policy studies. The book is structured into a series of sections on policy capacity in theory and practice, each focusing on a specific aspect of policy capacity and its influence on policy formulation, decision-making, implementation and evaluation. In addition to making a significant contribution to the body of literature on the theoretical approaches to researching the role of capacity in policymaking, it also provides practical examples of the application of these approaches through a variety of national and sectoral case studies. Including contributions from authors working in a wide variety of disciplines, the book demonstrates, across the various topics investigated, many commonalities and consistencies in relation to the study of policy capacity and policy-making. This work has interdisciplinary appeal and will engage scholars in fields ranging from geography to communications, health, social work and political science, amongst others with an interest in public policy.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the findings from a mail survey of local government economic development activities that was sent to all 540 municipalities and 100 counties in North Carolina. An important part of the analysis examines whether cities and counties differ significantly in their economic development efforts and whether smaller jurisdictions employ different types of development strategies and tools than larger ones. The survey findings also highlight the barriers that local governments face in promoting economic development and identify important technical assistance needs and gaps in local capacity.
