This Handbook will undoubtedly become a key reference source for scholars of local government across the world. The editors are to be congratulated on highlighting in detail many distinctive elements of local government structure and process, across many international boundaries and national cultures. They demonstrate the importance of understanding how local government, despite its many tensions with central and regional government, continues to play a major role in most countries in delivering a wide range of essential public services, providing key social facilities, and regulating many aspects of social life to improve quality of life outcomes. - Tony Bovaird, Institute of Local Government Studies, University of Birmingham, UK This book fills an important gap in the field of public administration by providing administrators with a wealth of perspectives, knowledge and best practices in local government from around the globe. It successfully expands the often one nation perspective of our field to capitalize on the experiences of the international public administration community. It will be equally attractive to political science students interested in comparative and international politics. - John Kiefer, University of New Orleans, USA
