The Politics of Local Innovation - Conditions for the Development of Innovations (Hardcover): Hubert Heinelt, Bjoern Egner,... The Politics of Local Innovation - Conditions for the Development of Innovations (Hardcover)

R4,145 Discovery Miles 41 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The interest in urban governance and policy is growing, namely in the proposed interconnection with innovation policies. This book fills a gap by contributing to a new understanding of urban innovations. The authors treat the subject in an original manner, particularly given the methodological approach. Innovation is a heated topic and is taught widely in management studies, economic geography and development studies. The value of this book is its empirical cases that enrich our understanding of a growing topic. This book will be particularly relevant for the analysis of local policy systems and for the broader field of urban studies, urban planning and urban geography.

Debates about multi-level governance have led to a profound restructuring of regional and local government. The second level of local government is under review in most European countries, with the aim to strengthen the institutional capacity of municipalities or to develop appropriate institutional structures for governing fragmented urban areas. This book provides a thematic and cross-national analysis of the key actors in local government that form the crucial components of effective and democratic policy making. Focussing on the second tier of local government, it examines new empirical data on councillors from this level of government in 15 European countries and integrates important variables such as party politics, notions of democracy, finance, multi-level settings. Divided into five parts, it addresses: Attitudes of county/provincial councillors towards administrative and territorial reforms; Their role perceptions and role behaviour; Their political orientation; Actor constellations and governance arrangements; Political socialization and recruitment, professionalization and career patterns of county/provincial councillors. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of local government, urban studies, regional studies, political science, sociology and geography.

Debates about multi-level governance have led to a profound restructuring of regional and local government. The second level of local government, the territorial level of self-government based on a multi-purpose jurisdiction, is under review in most European countries, with the aim to strengthen the institutional capacity of municipalities or to develop appropriate institutional structures for governing fragmented urban areas.

This book provides a thematic and cross-national analysis of the perceptions and interactions of key actors in local government, which form crucial components of effective and democratic policy making. Focussing on the second level of local government, it analyses new empirical data on councillors, political executives and leading bureaucrats in 15 European countries and integrates important variables such as party politics, democracy, finance, multi-level settings. Divided into 5 parts, it addresses:

  • Attitudes towards administrative and territorial reforms
  • Role perceptions and role behaviour
  • Political orientation
  • Actor constellations and governance arrangements
  • Political socialization and recruitment, professionalization and career patterns.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars of local government, urban studies, regional studies, political science, sociology and geography.

This book follows on from "The Second Tier of Local Government in Europe" (Routledge, 2011).

Local Councillors in Europe (Paperback, 2013 ed.): Bjoern Egner, David Sweeting, Pieter-Jan Klok Local Councillors in Europe (Paperback, 2013 ed.)
Bjoern Egner, David Sweeting, Pieter-Jan Klok
R1,539 Discovery Miles 15 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Councillors are the essence of local representative democracy, linking ordinary citizens and decision-makers in municipal arenas. In cross-national perspective, and taking in countries from across Europe, this book analyses the recruitment patterns, career, party associations, role perceptions, and attitudes to democracy, representation, and participation of local councillors. Matters such as gender, parties, institutions, municipal reform, functions in governance networks, and councillor influence are considered using data collected in an international survey, covering some 12,000 members of the local political elite. Drawing on diverse and eclectic literature, the contributions in this volume comprise a comprehensive and revealing analysis of modern councillors.

R3,762 Discovery Miles 37 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book focuses on local state-society relations, understood as institutionalised relations between local municipalities across Europe and individual, collective or corporate societal actors. It presents a typology of local state-society relations, and applies this to characterise the most relevant institutionalised relations between local government and societal actors at the municipal level in 22 European countries. The comparative volume will clarify whether or not patterns can be detected in the makeup of different types of networks; whether or not these patterns are country-specific or policy-specific; and why cases exist which are so distinct that they are not subsumable under a certain pattern. Taken together, this book will go beyond national typologies to emphasise the role of agency and innovation in particular policy sectors, providing a major contribution in the study of the local governance of Europe. It will appeal to scholars and students of local governance, public administration, urban planning and European studies.

Die deutschen Ballungsraume wachsen, der Wohnraum wird knapp, die Mietpreise steigen stark. So kehrt die Wohnungsfrage zuruck auf die politische Agenda - und wird angesichts eines weitgehenden Ruckzugs von Bund und Landern aus der Wohnungspolitik vor allem zur Aufgabe fur die Kommunen. Deren finanzielle Situation und begrenzte Verwaltungskapazitaten lassen jedoch kaum eigene, stadtische Akzente zu. Dabei ist die Wohnungsfrage eine der zentralen sozialpolitischen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Den damit verbundenen Aufgaben fur die Stadte sowie den vielfaltigen Loesungsansatzen lokaler Politik ist dieses Buch gewidmet. Das Buch beschreibt die spezifischen Probleme des Politikfelds, unternimmt eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme der Wohnraumversorgung in den Stadten und stellt moegliche kommunale Antworten dar.

R1,684 Discovery Miles 16 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dieser Band greift die Frage nach der politischen Rolle von Gemeinderaten auf und behandelt die folgenden Fragen:
- Wie formiert sich in der Kommunalpolitik Interessenartikulation und -vertretung? Welche Rolle spielen Parteien bei der Interessenartikulation und -vertretung und wie nehmen Ratsmitglieder den Gemeinderat wahr - eher als Verwaltungs- oder als parlamentarisches Organ?
- Wie werden unterschiedliche Formen der Interessenvertretung und -vermittlung eingeschatzt? Inwiefern wird dabei auf das Modell reprasentativer Demokratie gesetzt - oder das einer daruber hinausgehenden partizipativen Demokratie?
- Wie wird die seit den 90er Jahren laufende kommunale Verwaltungsmodernisierung von Ratsmitgliedern wahrgenommen und wie wirken sich Faktoren wie etwa die Parteizugehorigkeit auf die jeweiligen Einstellungen aus?
- Welche sozialstrukturellen Merkmale weisen Ratsmitglieder auf?
