Book excerpt: "All governments have budgets. Budgeting is a core state function. Effective budgeting empowers the state to prioritize policies, allocate resources, and discipline the bureaucracy. Proficient budgeting contributes to efficacious fiscal and macroeconomic policies. Budgeting and the state it serves can be transparent, participatory, and promote democratic decision making, or it can be opaque, hierarchical, and encourage authoritarian rule. Democratic budgetary institutions promote the rule of law, transparent decision making, a culture of bargaining and compromise, deliberation in the distribution of resources, civil society, and the accountability of public funds. Budgeting, as a central activity of public finance, has long been regarded as a foundational element in the history of state formation. The European Union (EU), created in response to the Second World War, currently consists of twenty-seven member states"--

Download or read book Local Public Finance written by René Geissler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based upon a comparative public administration research project, initiated by the Hertie School of Governance (Germany) and the Bertelsmann Foundation (Germany) and supported by a network of researchers from many EU countries. It analyzes both the regimes and the practices of local fiscal regulation in 21 European countries. The book brings together key findings of this research project. The regulatory discussion is not limited to the prominent issue of fiscal rules but focuses on every component of regulation. Beyond this, the book covers affiliated topics such as the impact of regulation for local governments, evolution of regulation, administrative costs and crisis prevention. The various book chapters throughout provide a broad picture of local public finance regulation in theory and in practice, using different theoretical and national lenses for the analysis. Furthermore, the authors investigate the effects of budgetary constraints and higher-level regulatory efforts on local governments and on democracy and public services in every European country. This book fills a gap with respect to the lack of discussion on local government finance from an international, comparative perspective and, in particular, the regulation of local public finance. With its mix of authors, this book will be useful for practitioners as well as for scholars and for theory-driven research.

Download or read book Government Budgeting written by George M. Guess and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practitioner-oriented sampling of the major tools used to deal with current public-sector fiscal issues. Directed at state and local financial managers, Government Budgeting presents, in a short and succinct manner, a sampling of the major tools used to deal with current fiscal problems. George M. Guess provides examples from a number of states and localities and explains how to use them in diverse situations. At the end of each chapter, cases, exercises and/or questions are provided for further study. The chapters cover the major topics needed by today’s practitioners: core concepts and definitions of budgeting and financial management; how to analyze the revenue budget and evaluate revenue sources; how one might plan expenditures and prepare an annual request; how capital projects should (and should not) be planned, analyzed, compared, placed into a capital improvements program, and financed; and the critical topic of budget implementation. Without claiming that practical tools can resolve every problem, the book suggests that if all stakeholders used such analytic tools the outcomes might be better for the general welfare. George M. Guess teaches public affairs at George Mason University. He is the coauthor (with Lance T. LeLoup) of Comparative Public Budgeting: Global Perspectives on Taxing and Spending, also published by SUNY Press.

The book is a must-have for the classroom adoption of any teaching related to Hong Kong politics or budgetary system." -Professor Wang Xiaohu, City University of Hong Kong "What adds value to the book is its historical-comparative analysis of budget openness, oversight institutions and practices, and deficit/surplus politics as observed in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore, in the perspective of territorial autonomy. Breaking new ground in understanding some trends and issues, and making reference to the latest international studies and methodologies, this book is theoretically vigorous and of relevance to the worldwide research in comparative budgeting as well." -Professor Anthony B. L. Cheung, The Education University of Hong Kong This book is a comprehensive, scholarly account of Hong Kong Public Budgeting, spanning from the pre-1997 British rule to the post-1997 Chinese rule. Transcending the existing comparative budgeting studies which are either central-government focused or symmetric local-government focused, this book presents Hong Kong Public Budgeting as a distinctive case of asymmetric territorial autonomy. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative budgeting studies.

Contributors include both scholars and seasoned practitioners with extensive experience in implementing or advising performance budgeting reforms.
