Download or read book Local Government in Europe written by Carlo Panara and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work considers the role of local government in 13 EU Member States (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The book aims to provide an account of the system of local government in each of the countries studied along with a critical and contextual approach to the level of autonomy that local government enjoys. The approach is comparative, based on a questionnaire which all of the authors considered. There is then a detailed conclusion to the book which offers a detailed summary and comparative analysis of the responses in order to better consider the role of local authorities as the ‘fourth level’ of governance in the EU. The book aims to offer a detailed introduction to and account of each system of local government which may appeal to those seeking an overview of the area, but also a critical and contextual approach that will be of interest to those actively researching in the areas of local and regional government or EU-central-local government relations. The book contains details of reform in local government up to November 2012, including an analysis of the impact of austerity measures on local autonomy where these have become significant.

Book excerpt: L’opera contiene il commento al Testo unico sulle leggi dell’ordinamento degli Enti locali (D.lgs. 267/2000), che ha avuto numerose, recenti e penetranti modifiche, delle quali si è puntualmente tenuto conto. Il commento analizza e fornisce una chiara interpretazione degli articoli del Testo unico. La prima parte, relativa all’Ordinamento istituzionale (artt. 1-148 bis) è stata commentata articolo per articolo. La seconda parte, relativa all’Ordinamento finanziario e contabile (artt. 149-275) è stata commentata per blocchi di articoli, uniti assieme dal contenuto e dalle finalità. Particolare attenzione è stata dedicata alle conseguenze pratiche che tali norme comportano per l’organizzazione e l’attività degli Enti locali, il tutto alla luce della giurisprudenza, sia di quella consolidata, sia di quella più recente. L’opera registra perciò tutte le modifiche che sono intervenute in questo Testo unico, che rappresenta il completamento normativo degli articoli 5 e 114 della Costituzione, che contengono i princìpi basilari e democratici dell’ “autonomia locale”.
Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Local Government Reform written by Brian Dollery and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Structural reform has been one of the most important, and yet one of the most neglected, aspects of modern local government. This book represents the first attempt, since the early seventies, at providing a comprehensive account of both the theory and practice of structural reform in local government in developed countries. Using recent policy experience from seven different countries, the authors present seminal theoretical perspectives on structural reforms in local governance and the policy implications deriving from them. Written by well-known scholars of local government from around the world, this volume is a "must-read" for all academics, practitioners, students and policymakers.' - Giorgio Brosio, University of Turin, Italy

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Decentralisation in Europe written by José Manuel Ruano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an authoritative study of European decentralisation, taking into account, from a territorial perspective, the different political and administrative traditions in Europe (Continental, Anglo-Saxon and Ex-communist States) and the cleavages North-South and East-West. While in recent decades most European countries have implemented devolution policies trying to tackle different political, social or bureaucratic problems, some others have instead regionalised their territory, applied federal or pseudo-federal reforms and strengthened the role of subnational governments. This volume analyses decentralisation in these countries using different variables including history, territorial organisation, civil service and financing, and reveals how this phenomenon leads to complex intergovernmental linkages. The evolution of territorial decentralisation, the political tensions between centre and periphery, the autonomy of the subnational governments and their functions and competences, the tools of co-ordination and co-operation, and the features and role of civil service are the main issues studied here with an interdisciplinary approach.

Download or read book Theoretical Foundations and Discussions on the Reformation Process in Local Governments written by Sadioglu, Ugur and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local government can be defined as a public entity acting as the sub-unit of a state or of a region, charged with the task of enforcing public policies. There have been many reforms of local government in recent years from the grassroots-led movement that took root in the 90’s to the overarching effects of globalization and decentralization. Local governments must adapt their practices in order to most effectively provide for their constituents. Theoretical Foundations and Discussions on the Reformation Process in Local Government addresses the effects of recent reforms in the political-administrative system of local governments and politics as well as future outlooks. It reviews the challenges, innovations, and lessons from local governments while providing theoretical perspectives on methods for positive reform. This book is a critical reference source for policy makers, government organizations, professionals, and actors in both local and international politics.

Download or read book The Sub national Dimension of the EU written by Carlo Panara and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first monograph-form legal study on multilevel governance in the EU and represents a radical change in the approach to this topic. Particularly after the Treaty of Lisbon’s entry into force, research on multilevel governance can no longer remain confined to the analysis of political dynamics or of soft law arrangements. Multilevel governance emerges as a constitutional principle in the European constitutional space, envisaging a method of governance based on the strong involvement of sub-national authorities in the creation and implementation of EU law and policy. Its foundation is in the mosaic resulting from the constitutional systems of the Union and its Member States. Multilevel governance arrangements play a fundamental part in achieving key Treaty objectives (such as subsidiarity, respect for the national identities of the Member States including regional and local self-government, openness, and closeness to the citizen). These arrangements lend legitimacy to EU decision-making, while also promoting constitutionalism and democracy in the EU.

Download or read book European Democratic Institutions and Administrations written by Francesco Merloni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the results of extensive international comparative research into the effects of the economic and financial crisis on democratic institutions and social cohesion policies. The collected studies describe and analyse the measures (often referred to as "reforms") adopted to counter the crisis and the effects of these measures.It investigates three areas: the impact on the functioning of institutions, with respect to the relationship between representative institutions and governments, and the organisational structure of administrations at national and local levels; the impact that the austerity policies on public spending have on social rights; and the impact on traditional instruments of public action (administrative simplification, public services delivering, the use of common assets).The general findings highlight the effect of reducing the administrative and government capacity of the democratic institutions: the public sector, rather than being innovative and made more effective, declines, offering increasingly poor public services and making bad decisions, fuelling substantive or formal privatisation solutions, which in turn cause further weakening.

This book was released on 2023-11-25 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates public-private partnerships, with special reference to the law of the European Union and the Member States. It deals in detail with what public-private partnerships are, whether and how they are regulated, and whether the concept carries meaning outside the regulatory framework. Based on detailed analysis, the author offers conclusions on how public-private partnerships should develop and be regulated in practice, and provides a solid basis, including a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, for further research. This book will be important to researchers and students in political law and regulation, as well as practitioners and policy makers. Although the examples studied are from the European Union, the conclusions will be applicable worldwide.

Download or read book Joint Public Procurement and Innovation written by Gabriella Margherita Racca and published by Bruylant. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation in public procurement is essential for sustainable and inclusive growth in an increasingly globalized economy. To achieve that potential, both the promises and the perils of innovation must be investigated, including the risks and opportunities of joint procurement across borders in the European Union and the United States. This in-depth research investigates innovation in public procurement from three different perspectives. First, leading academics and practitioners assess the purchase of innovation, with a particular focus on urban public contracting in smart cities involving meta-infrastructures, public-private partnership arrangements and smart contracts. A second line of inquiry looks for ways to encourage innovative suppliers. Here, the collected authors draw on emerging lessons from the US and Europe, to explore both the costs and the benefits of spurring innovation through procurement. A third perspective looks to various innovations in the procurement process itself, with a focus on the effects of joint and cross-border procurement in the EU and US landscapes. The chapters review new technologies and platforms, the increasingly automated means of selecting suppliers, and the related efficiencies that “big data” can bring to public procurement. Expanding on research in the editors’ prior volume, Integrity and Efficiency in Sustainable Public Contracts: Balancing Corruption Concerns in Public Procurement Internationally (Bruylant 2014), this volume builds on a series of academic conferences and exchanges to address these issues from sophisticated academic, institutional and practical perspectives, and to point the way to future research on the contractual models that are emerging from new procurement technologies.
Download or read book Religion as Empowerment written by Kyriaki Topidi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume shows how and why legal empowerment is important for those exercising their religious rights under various jurisdictions, in conditions of legal pluralism. At the same time, it also questions the thesis that as societies become more modern, they also become less religious. The authors look beyond the rule of law orthodoxy in their consideration of the freedom of religion as a human right and place this discussion in a more plurality-sensitive context. The book sheds more light on the informal and/or customary mechanisms that explain the limited impact of law on individuals and groups, especially in non-Western societies. The focus is on discussing how religion and the exercise of religious rights may or may not empower individuals and social groups and improve access to human rights in general. This book is important reading for academics and practitioners of law and religion, religious rights, religious diversity and cultural difference, as well as NGOs, policy makers, lawyers and advocates at multicultural jurisdictions. It offers a contemporary take on comparative legal studies, with a distinct focus on religion as an identity marker.
Download or read book Per una seconda Carta della Democrazia del Comune di Terni written by Davide Mancini and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-03-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un testo che rielabora il sistema della partecipazione del Comune di Terni in un momento in cui l'Amministrazione Comunale e la società di Terni si trovano a dover necessariamente rimettere in discussione il modello partecipativo tanto per il mutato quadro legale (abolizione delle circoscrizioni e introduzione della sussidiarietà) quanto per i cambiamenti economici e sociali avvenuti negli ultimi anni (globalizzazione, cambiamenti nel mercato del lavoro, crisi della grande industria, diminuzione dell'occupazione, nuove tecnologie e mezzi di comunicazione, aumento dei flussi migratori, ecc.). La pubblicazione, pur ricalcando in buona parte la Carta comunale della Democrazia del 1985, suggerisce agli amministratori comunali ternani ulteriori innovativi strumenti di partecipazione.
