Book Description

This comprehensive Handbook analyses the political, financial, administrative and managerial dimensions of subnational govements. It examines the profound differences between forms of subnational goveance across the world, as well as the common challenges faced by govements below the national level.Chapters provide detailed case studies of more than twenty subnational govements, analysing how different degrees and forms of self-rule have impacted the well-being of local populations. Alongside studying specific regional responsibilities and goveance arrangements, contributors also address four central aspects of subnational govements across the world – innovation, intergovemental tensions, fiscal issues, and delivery arrangements. They examine important issues including incomplete decentralization, challenges to govemental autonomy, and lack of citizen support. Ultimately, the Handbook highlights the growing importance of subnational govements in designing, adopting and implementing policy, and providing key services to their communities.Providing a nuanced understanding of diverse forms of subnational govement, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of goveance, public management and administration, political science, and intergovemental relations. It will also be essential reading for policy-makers and practitioners seeking to understand subnational goveance as practised today.
