Advocates of democratization in Central and Eastern Europe before
1989 placed great emphasis on community self-government as the
basis of civil society and democracy. After the 'Velvet
Revolutions' of 1989 and the break up of the Soviet Union in 1991,
the new states created an elected local government, whereby cities,
towns and villages elected their own representatives and started
running local services. This unleashed the development potential of
urban communities across the region, but also led to the emergence
of a different logic based on resource efficiency and service
effectiveness. Local Government in Central and Eastern Europe
examines these changes through the use of case studies which
compare and contrast neighbouring countries, such as the Baltic
States, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Ukraine, placing
what is happening in an international perspective. There are
various common themes such as: how to deal with the small scale of
many municipalities, how to finance local services, centre-local
relations, and the roles of cities and districts. This book was
previously published as a special issue of Local Government Studies
and will be of interest to students of Eastern European politics,
governance, and policy analysis.
