    Program Overview

Thursday, May 24, 2012            11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

I. Working Group on Local Government 
Session 1: Comparisons and theories
Room SAMOIL Hotel Metropol
Related to Local Government 
WG Programme Coordinators:
  Gabor Soos, Centre for Social Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary
Arto Haveri, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland

The Working Group on Local Government invites researchers and practitioners to explore the reforms of, and at, the local government level in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). By using the term "local government” we prefer the broader context of governance to the internal machinery of local administration.

The general aim of the workshops in 2012 is to explore the state and development of local government autonomy in the context of public administration reforms. Have the reforms and decisions of upper level governments contributed to the increased central control of local policy making or have local authorities been given more resources, power and autonomy in deciding on local affairs? Autonomy is approached from theoretical as well as practical perspectives, and as a question of design and resource allocation.
