Local Government Financial Capacity Buliding in Transition Countries: Selected Country Studies

Zeljko Sevic

Date: 2006

ISBN: 80-89013-23-6

Publisher:

Price: 0 €(+ mailing costs)

The papers presented in this book explore the issues of capacity building in general and fiscal capacity building at sub-national level in particular. The book presents a series of case studies that follow the same research protocol. They deal with particular issues that face each of the countries presented and try to provide an accurate picture of the institutional (legal) framework and positive practices in developing sustainable local finance in those countries. We have taken care to ensure that the papers depict the current situation correctly. The authors have tried to follow the common methodology and, to a large extent, this has been respected, but due to the vast differences amongst national solutions, on occasions it was not possible to do so.

The book is the result of both individual and collective efforts of the members of the NISPAcee Working Group on Public Sector Finance and Accounting. This is the second book in the series and following the success of the previous title (Financial Decentralization and Grant Transfers: A Critical Perspective) we hope that this one will be welcomed by both academics and professionals dealing with administrative reforms, especially fiscal reforms, at both national and sub-national levels. The work presented in this volume should be contributed to the authors and not to the organisations for which they work. The editor assumes overall responsibility for the volume and any eventual criticism should be addressed to him.

Price: 10 EUR (plus postage)
