Download or read book Along a Fault-line written by Jean Drage and published by Dunmore Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local government in New Zealand is experiencing major upheaval. The creation of an urban unitary council for Auckland, the overthrow of elected representation for the Canterbury region, and other instances of intrusion of central government power into local councils (e.g for managing earthquake recovery and the Rugby World Cup) indicate a seismic shift in the foundations of local government in New Zealand. A major review announced in 2011 signals an imminent shakeup of this tier of government. These developments demand robust analysis and innovative responses. This collection addresses fundamental questions about what the appropriate structure and role of local government should be in contemporary New Zealand. Who should decide about the local in our lives? Should Auckland Council be the model for other parts of the country? What is the future for regions? New Zealand's leading local government scholars provide a context for and tease out the underlying themes that make New Zealand's local government distinctive. This book will inform decision-makers, scholars and students and those with an interest in the level of government that most directly affects our daily lives.

Book Synopsis Local Government in New Zealand by : Jean Drage
Download or read book Local Government in New Zealand written by Jean Drage and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local government in New Zealand faces major challenges. Among the most pressing are continual legislative change, threats to its autonomy, the gradual erosion of community voices in council planning and decision-making, and the need for funding solutions to ensure property rates remain affordable. As well, there is an urgent need for a more coordinated approach across central government on major policy issues such as climate change and housing. This book exposes these challenges and proposes and debates solutions for the future of our local government. Strong local government is vital for ensuring economic growth across and within regions and local communities, for enhancing community wellbeing, for funding and providing the infrastructure needed for, in some cases, rapidly growing and diverse communities, for ensuring our environment is valued and protected, and for planning for development in a time of constraint on resources. This book is a 'one-stop information shop' on local government that can be used by those who regularly interact with or study this area of government, by those working within local authorities, and by those who actively work to ensure their communities grow in a sustainable way.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Local Government by : Brian Dollery
Download or read book The Political Economy of Local Government written by Brian Dollery and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dollery (economics, U. of New England, Australia) and Wallis (economics, Otago U., New Zealand) attempt to explain local policy formation and outcomes from a variety of economic models, including the theory of fiscal federalism, the market failure paradigm, and the "new institutional economics." Particularly referring to local government reforms in the U.K. and New Zealand, the authors look at the extent to which minimalist and activist approaches to matching local functions to local capacity can be related to the different styles of policy leadership that may be required to advance reform. In contrast to many of their colleagues, they stress the uses of social capital to be used by localities to exploit comparative institutional advantage. c. Book News Inc.
Book Synopsis Theoretical Foundations and Discussions on the Reformation Process in Local Governments by : Sadioglu, Ugur

This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local government can be defined as a public entity acting as the sub-unit of a state or of a region, charged with the task of enforcing public policies. There have been many reforms of local government in recent years from the grassroots-led movement that took root in the 90’s to the overarching effects of globalization and decentralization. Local governments must adapt their practices in order to most effectively provide for their constituents. Theoretical Foundations and Discussions on the Reformation Process in Local Government addresses the effects of recent reforms in the political-administrative system of local governments and politics as well as future outlooks. It reviews the challenges, innovations, and lessons from local governments while providing theoretical perspectives on methods for positive reform.
