Public administration; Central government policies; Local government law

Local public administrations play a role in the governance and delivery of public services. Their structure may vary but generally reflects principles of decentralization. The autonomy of these administrations determines their ability to make decisions independently, manage resources, and implement local policies, often shaped by legal and constitutional frameworks. This autonomy directly affects their policy impacts, influencing everything from urban planning and public health to education and environmental regulation. The effectiveness of local governance depends on institutional design and on local authority empowerment and accountability within broader national and regional systems. Structure, Autonomy, and Policy Impacts of Local Public Administrations explores how local public administrations are structured, their autonomy, and how these factors influence their ability to implement and shape policies. It examines the relationship between governance frameworks and the impact of local decision-making on public service delivery and community development. This book covers topics such as digitalization, citizen participation, and municipalities, and is a useful resource for government officials, policymaking, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
