Over the past fifty years, local government in Europe has been
confronted with escalating scales of production, population
migration and market pressures. These developments have complicated
its performance, challenged its domain and even threatened its
existence. A popular coping strategy is inter-municipal
cooperation, a phenomenon that, despite its ubiquity, has not been
subject to systematic comparative research. This book presents an
overview of inter-municipal cooperation in eight European
countries. Each country study sketches its attendant forms, their
institutional design, the tasks and competencies attributed to
joint authorities of municipalities and the way inter-municipal
cooperation operates in practice. Both performance and democratic
aspects of cooperation are recurring topics. The last chapter of
the book presents a comparative analysis and reflects on the future
of inter-municipal cooperation.
