Beskrivning
Local Government Reforms in Countries in Transition explores the impacts that the end of the Cold War and increased globalization have had on government around the world. The decentralization of national governments has led to a greater role for local governments; public administration and democrative representation are the new arena of local governments the world over. Focusing not only on countries from the former Soviet Union, but also on Israel, China, South Africa, and Egypt, the contributors to this volume present a truly global investigation of countries experiencing governmental transformation.

Recensioner i media

This is an awesome collection of new thinking on neglected issues and provides a platform for future dialogue on how local political structures are indispensable for sustaining democracy. We are all wondering what works in keeping the hard won freedoms that new states seem to be in danger of losing almost from the moment of achieving them, and this remarkable volume will be necessary reading not only for scholars but for anyone with an interest in the decentralization of liberty.
