Within the European Union, the principle of subsidiarity has enshrined the idea of devolution.  New member states, particularly in central and eastern Europe, have significantly created new and self-sufficient local and regional governments. However, this process has been complicated.  Devolution is not a panacea in its own right, and need not lead to economic growth. While it can encourage savings through  collaboration, it can also lead to confused lines of authority and can complicate policy formation and implantation. Devolution can strain local budgets, forcing local governments to rely on their own sources of finance, rather than central government transfers. Suburbanisation, rural depopulation, the growth of some regions, and the decline of others have raised new problems, particularly related to inter-governmental cooperation among local governments and different levels of government. In many cases, an increased number of governments has increased administrative costs. This book looks at experience in government restructuring and devolution from a variety of national and international perspectives, both within the European Union and elsewhere, focusing on lessons learned and ways forward.Springer Geography,2194-315XGeology, EconomicEconomic Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17010Geology, Economic.Economic Geology.55553Buček Jánedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRyder Andrewedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910392754203321Governance in Transition2526886UNINA02089aam 2200505I 450 991070960060332120260430110136.0GOVPUB-C13-25e0a13cbe7e91c575be4455a3247448(CKB)5470000002478990(OCoLC)950543952(DGPO)001073815(EXLCZ)99547000000247899020160525d2016 ua 0engrdacontentrdamediardacarrierEnd-to-end demonstration of the Quality Information Framework (QIF) standard at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2014 /Hui-Min Huang; John Michaloski; Daniel Campbell; Robert Stone; Thomas Kramer; Curtis Brown; Robert Brown; Gavrail TatarlievGaithersburg, MD :U.S. Dept. of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology,2016.1 online resource (19 pages) illustrations (chiefly color)NISTIR ;8102Contributed record: Metadata reviewed, not verified.
