In government administration and leadership, rural community
leaders face unique challenges in delivering public services
including (but not limited to) education, health care, and public
safety. Meanwhile residents who live in smaller and more isolated
rural settings often face greater difficulties accessing provisions
and services or commuting to work, among other economic development
challenges. These factors may affect a community’s resiliency to
and recovery from shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Local
Government Administration in Small Town America devotes some
overdue scholarly attention to the governance and administration of
public programs in small towns and rural communities in the United
States. The chapter contributors to this volume analyze some of the
unique challenges rural communities face, as well as the policy
tools that their governments employ to address them. The book
explores ways that small town governments collaborate with one
another, the state, and the federal government, and examines how
local government officials use knowledge of people and place to
improve policy performance. The chapters are designed to provide
cases and strategies for students and practitioners in public
administration to use in a small town environment, while also
considering a community’s distinctive social and political
culture which determines how local political leaders and government
practitioners might respond to demands and challenges they face.
Local Government Administration in Small Town America is an
essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying
local government, as well as for rural practitioners navigating
evolving challenges unique to their communities.
