Holistic in approach, this Handbook's international range of
leading scholars present complementary perspectives, both
theoretical and empirically pertinent, to explore recent
developments in the field of local and regional governance. With a
fresh outlook on the field, this Handbook builds significantly upon
the existing literature to clarify the scope of the discipline, as
well as providing tools, information, and research questions to
better understand and further explore the field. Chapters provide
theoretical and empirical context to current debates on local and
regional governance and offer competing analytical lenses for
studying the field. Topics explored include the intersecting roles,
limits, opportunities, and influence of actors, democracy, place,
scale, and networks, with examinations of social cohesion,
intermunicipal decentralization, and emerging technologies.
Particularly close attention is paid to relationships, as the
Handbook introduces to the analysis the ways that actors, tiers of
government, institutions and multiple jurisdictions exchange
resources, coordinate action and produce decisions with collective
impact in local and regional governance. Interdisciplinary and
international in scope, this Handbook will be an invigorating read
for students and scholars looking to better understand contemporary
policy, politics and subnational governance at local and regional
levels.
