Local communities in all countries are increasingly aware of
resource scarcity and are pressing for more say in how funds are
used. Developments in Local Government Finance examines key issues
for economists interested in local government and, in particular,
the functioning of institutions at regional and local levels.Local
government organization and finance are addressed from a variety of
approaches by the authors who critically examine the current
intergovernmental distribution of responsibility for service
provision and revenue raising. Adopting a multilateral approach to
theory and policy, this major book stresses the need for real, and
not just formal, devolution and greater local accountability. The
contributors highlight how instruments for financing local
government and for pursuing interpersonal and geographical equity
can vary considerably between countries with broadly similar
systems, yet be surprisingly similar for countries with quite
different institutional arrangements. Particular reference is made
to emerging problems in the European Union and the experience of
Switzerland, a country where fiscal federalism and tax
harmonization are living together in a unique equilibrium of
forces. Developments in Local Government Finance presents a major
contribution to the understanding of local government and finance
for both students and practitioners.
