As the political legitimacy and importance of municipalities grow, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to strike a balance between local and higher levels of government. The contributors to Local Government in a Global World provide insights into key themes impacting local governance in two federations with much in common historically, culturally, and politically: Australia and Canada.These essays examine changes in the Australian and Canadian systems through four thematic lenses: citizen participation in government systems, the restructuring and reform of local governments, the use of performance measures and management systems in the administration of local governments, and the relations of local governments within higher levels of governments. Unique in its thematic selection and in its compare-and-contrast structure, Local Government in a Global World provides a valuable reference for those seeking to understand how effective local government is structured and managed. 410 0$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance. 606 $aMunicipal government$zCanada 606 $aLocal government$zAustralia 606 $aComparative government 606 $aGlobalization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMunicipal government 615 0$aLocal government 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a320.80971 700 $aBrunet-Jailly$b Emmanuel, $0991608 702 $aMartin$b John F.$f1951- 702 $aBrunet-Jailly$b Emmanuel$f1961- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458412003321 996 $aLocal government in a global world$92269418 997 $aUNINA
