Book Synopsis Local Government and the States: Autonomy, Politics and Policy by : David R. Berman
Download or read book Local Government and the States: Autonomy, Politics and Policy written by David R. Berman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an overview of the legal, political, and broad intergovernmental environment in which relations between local and state units of government take place, the historical roots of the conflict among them, and an analysis of contemporary problems concerning local authority, local revenues, state interventions and takeovers, and the restructuring of local governments. The author pays special attention to local governmental autonomy and the goals and activities of local officials as they seek to secure resources, fend off regulations and interventions, and fight for survival as independent units. He looks at the intergovernmental struggle from the bottom up, but in the process examines a variety of political activities at the state level and the development and effects of several state policies. Berman finds considerable reason to be concerned about the viability and future of meaningful local government.

Book Synopsis The Capacity of Local Governments in Europe by : Sabine Kuhlmann
Download or read book The Capacity of Local Governments in Europe written by Sabine Kuhlmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares local self-government in Europe. It examines local institutional structures, autonomy, and capacities in six selected countries - France, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, and the United Kingdom - each of which represents a typical model of European local government. Within Europe, an overall trend towards more local government capacities and autonomy can be identified, but there are also some counter tendencies to this trend and major differences regarding local politico-administrative settings, functional responsibilities, and resources. The book demonstrates that a certain degree of local financial autonomy and fiscal discretion is necessary for effective service provision. Furthermore, a robust local organization, viable territorial structures, a professional public service, strong local leadership, and well-functioning tools of democratic participation are key aspects for local governments to effectively fulfill their tasks and ensure political accountability. The book will appeal to students and scholars of Public Administration and Public Management, as well as practitioners and policy-makers at different levels of government, in public enterprises, and in NGOs.

Book Synopsis Local Government in England by : Colin Copus
Download or read book Local Government in England written by Colin Copus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the claim that English local government exists in one of the most centralised relationships with national government. Such a position fundamentally undermines any notion of local self-government and makes the term ‘government’ in local government a misnomer. The book will examine how the erosion of the autonomy, powers, roles, functions and responsibilities of English local government came about, the arguments of centralisers and localisers to support their view of the constitutional status of local government, and its overall role in the government of England. The book offers an antidote to the onward march of centralisation by offering a new vision of local government which emphasises both ‘local’ and ‘government’.

Book Synopsis Two Centuries of Local Autonomy by : Jürgen Backhaus
Download or read book Two Centuries of Local Autonomy written by Jürgen Backhaus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the last Prussian Reforms during the Napoleonic Era was the constitution of local autonomy for the cities. Proof of its lasting importance is that it was the cities that carried out the deficit-based employment policies of the early 1930s also had to carry the burden of a democratic reconstitution of Germany in the postwar period. After the crushing defeat at Napoleon’s hands, likewise the reconstitution of Prussia fell to the cities. Today, the same constellation of problems can be found on different stages. Europe, as it is growing together, faces a democracy deficit which ultimately will have to be addressed by the cities. The countries in transition and undergoing transformation likewise will have to find arenas for democratic decision making, which likely will be at the municipal level. Finally, the United States of America also faces a quagmire at the federal level which ultimately will have to be resolved at the state or local level. Contributions to this book examine all of these issues, making it of interest to students in urban studies, public administration, history and political science as well as policy-makers concerned with local government and autonomy.

Book Synopsis Local Autonomy as a Human Right by : Joshua B. Forrest
Download or read book Local Autonomy as a Human Right written by Joshua B. Forrest and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local Autonomy as a Human Right contends that local communities struggle to preserve their territorial autonomy over time despite changes to the broader political and geographic contexts within which they are embedded. Forrest argues that this both reflects and is evidence of a worldwide embrace of local control as a key political and social value, indeed, of such importance that it should be embraced and codified as a human right. This study weaves together evidence grounded in a variety of disciplines - history, geography, comparative politics, sociology, public policy, anthropology, international jurisprudence, rural studies, urban studies -- to make clear that a presumed, inherent moral right to local self-determination has been manifested in many different historical and social contexts. This book constructs a compelling argument favoring a human right to local autonomy. It identifies practical factors that help to account for the relative success of communities that are able to assert local control over time. Here, particular attention is paid to whether localities are able to generate policy and organizational capacity. Forrest suggests that a focus on local policy and organizational capacity can help to explain why some communities attempting to assert greater local control are more successful than others. Local Autonomy as a Human Right contributes to scholarly debates regarding the varied impacts of globalization, with the place-based perspective and moral emphasis on territorial-centered rights put forth herein offering a necessary counter-narrative to the often-presumed predominance of global forces.

Book Synopsis L'autonomie locale au XXIe siècle by :
Download or read book L'autonomie locale au XXIe siècle written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'autonomie locale au XXIe siècle, Entre tradition et modernisation. Cet ouvrage présente les actes du colloque, organisé à Vilnius par l'Observatoire de l'Autonomie Locale, en partenariat avec le Comité des Communes et des Réglons d'Europe, sur le thème de "l'autonomie locale en Europe ". Son objectif est de faire un état des lieux juridique, politique et managérial de l'organisation des administrations locales en Europe, en vue d'établir une typologie des systèmes d'administration locale. Car il ne sert à rien de comparer concrètement la gestion des services publics locaux et les méthodes de management de ces derniers en Europe si l'on n'a pas une bonne connaissance de l'existant. Faire un état de l'existant consiste à se dégager d'une vision purement statistique et par là même, théorique) du découpage des communes et des réglons européennes pour s'intéresser à l'état actuel des systèmes d'administration locale, à leur évolution à la lumière des nombreuses réformes en cours, tant dans la répartition des compétences entre l'Etat et les collectivités locales que dans la répartition des moyens matériels, humains et financiers (dont fiscaux).
