In recent decades, local governments in Europe have increasingly found themselves under pressure from a multitude of new challenges, such as demographic change, climate change, fiscal austerity policies, digitization, the demand for more citizen participation in local affairs, and the migration crisis in some of them, to name just a few. Consequently, a wave of political and administrative reforms to address these challenges, pressures and problems, has changed local governance in many countries. In part, these changes were the result of reform policies introduced by national and state governments, often triggered by austerity policies, which has become an overwhelming reality for Spanish local governments that have been forced to introduce innovations in local governance. This book aims to give an account of these innovations in local governance in Spain. This book considers the local political-administrative structure in its dimensions, focusing on the analysis of its party system, electoral competition and political behavior in the local arena, as well as on local finances, all of which are determining elements in urban and rural governance processes. On the occasion of the recent crisis unleashed by Covid-19, the book will also deal with local governance in crisis situations. The book will also contextualize local governance processes in Spain in relation to the trends in local governance observed in other European countries. 410 0$aLocal and Urban Governance,$x2524-5457 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aUrban policy 606 $aGeography 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aUrban Policy 606 $aRegional Geography 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aUrban policy. 615 0$aGeography. 615 14$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aUrban Policy. 615 24$aRegional Geography. 676 $a320.850946 702 $aIglesias Alonso$b A?ngel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910624318703321 996 $aLocal Governance in Spain$92968413 997 $aUNINA
