In recent years, municipalities have had to adjust to dramatic
changes in their role in a new democratised system of national,
provincial and local government. They have had to accept increased
responsibilities in terms of service rendering and some have found
it difficult to cope with the growing demands of their communities.
South African municipal government and administration clarifies the
powers and functions of the local sphere of government, what
services communities are entitled to, and how councillors and
officials could be made accountable for non-delivery of these
services, under-performance or lack of pride in the quality of work
done. This second edition of South African municipal government and
administration incorporates the most recent developments in this
sphere of government. It describes the obligations of councils,
councillors and appointed officials with regard to policy
implementation, and their accountability for the delivery of
high-quality services to civic society. It includes various
practical examples as well as rulings of the Constitutional Court,
policy statements and reports. Contents include the following:
Origins and characteristics of urban areas; Functions and powers of
municipal councils; Coordinating structures, composition and
objectives of municipal councils; Municipal planning; Municipal
Finance Management Act (MFMA); Human resource administration and
management; Municipal associations and related institutions; Public
relations: functions and objectives. The book is aimed at
undergraduate and postgraduate students studying municipal
government and administration, as well as aspiring and serving
municipal councillors.
Niklas Luhmann's social theory stands in direct opposition to the dominant "anthropocentric" traditions of legal and political analysis. King and Thornhill now offer the first comprehensive, critical examination of Luhmann's highly original theory of the operations of the legal and political systems. They describe how from the perspective of his "sociological enlightenment" Luhmann continually calls to account the certainties, the ambitions and rational foundations of The Enlightenment and the idealized versions of law and politics that they have produced.
