Consequently, a wave of political and administrative reforms aimed at coping with these pressures has changed local governance in many nations. Local governments are not only responsible for efficient administration, high-quality services and a legally correct execution of laws, but also for ensuring legitimacy, democratic participation, accountability and trust - often under the conditions of austerity. This volume presents research findings of an international project on local public sector reforms in 31 countries and derives advice for policymakers to shape the future of local governments in Europe. The authors address basic reform areas and key features of local governance like autonomy, performance and participation.L’avenir des administrations locales en Europe Future of Local Government in EuropePublic administrationLocal Governmentpublic administrationKommunenKommunale SelbstverwaltungEuropa der RegionenFöderalismusLokalpolitikPrivatisierungVerwaltungPublic AdministrationPublic administration.320.6Bouckaert Geertauth148095Bouckaert GeertKuhlmann SabineSchwab ChristianNjHacINjHaclBOOK996344241903316The Future of Local Government in Europe3358582UNISA05393nam 2200733 a 450 991082873910332120240314010602.0978111873332511187333209781118733202111873320797811187332191118733215(CKB)2670000000392039(EBL)1251409(OCoLC)852758618(SSID)ssj0001034937(PQKBManifestationID)11577635(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001034937(PQKBWorkID)11017548(PQKB)11586253(MiAaPQ)EBC1251409(Au-PeEL)EBL1251409(CaPaEBR)ebr10731756(CaONFJC)MIL504433(Perlego)1001030(EXLCZ)99267000000039203920150303d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrManagement and engineering innovation /edited by Carolina Machado, J.
