    Program Overview

Working Group 1: Local Government 
Session 3: The Context of Local Government
Related to WG1: Local Government
WG Programme Coordinators:
Ilona Palne Kovacs, HUN-REN Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Budapest, Hungary

The Working Group on Local Governance deals with all sub-national levels of governance from several points of view: regulation, structure, organisation, functioning, finance, representation, election, and public policies etc.

 

Local and regional governments are facing new challenges in a time of crisis, in the era of "illiberal” turns and recentralisation in several countries. The new challenges require new structures, scales, functional methods, new cooperation forms, new kind of politics and policy making. But it is also clear that the responses are manifold in different countries in spite of some general trends and similarities. It is time to identify the common features and practices and also different patterns of territorial governance and the reasons behind them.
