Taking an international perspective, it provides an enlightening and practical analysis of the different capacities and responses that local governments deploy to cope with financial shocks. Moving beyond traditional approaches dealing with financial stress, the financial resilience perspective reveals a wider range of organisational responses and enables consideration of the dynamic role played by internal and external contextual factors. The international case study approach allows for a comparative analysis of financial resilience in the context of different administrative and policy environments. By providing a unifying view of financial resilience, the importance of building resilience into organisational financial management is demonstrated, uncovering the relative effectiveness of different resilience building approaches. This edited volume is a valuable source for practitioners and academics, as well as students of public policy, public management and financial management. 410 0$aPublic policy and governance ;$vv. 27. 606 $aFinancial crises 606 $aLocal finance 606 $aEducation$xEducational Policy & Reform$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aEducational strategies & policy$2bicssc 615 0$aFinancial crises. 615 0$aLocal finance. 615 7$aEducation$xEducational Policy & Reform$xGeneral. 615 7$aEducational strategies & policy. 676 $a379.1 702 $aSteccolini$b Ileana 702 $aJones$b Martin$f1948- 702 $aSaliterer$b Iris 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792968803321 996 $aGovernmental financial resilience$93714157 997 $aUNINA
