Beschreibung:
This book explores the new administrative implications of local governments as they are interconnected with other governments and nongovernmental organizations in governance systems. The focus is on local system building, local politics, knowledge management, networks, interoperability, new forms of organization, and global influences.
Local governments serve their communities in many diversified ways as they increasingly engage in multiple connections: international, regional, regional-local, with nongovernmental organizations and through external nongovernmental services county actors. The book discusses how the shift in emphasis from government to governance has raised many management challenges, along with shifting expectations and demands.
