Budgeting for Local Governments and Communities is designed as the
primary textbook for a quarter or semester-long course in public
budgeting and finance in an MPA programme. Many currently available
texts for this course suffer from a combination of defects that
include a focus on federal and state budgeting, a lack of a
theoretical governance framework, an omission of important topics,
and typically a lack of exercises and datasets for student use.
Budgeting for Local Governments and Communities solves all of these
problems. The book is exceptionally comprehensive and well written,
and represents the efforts of veteran authors with both teaching
and real-world experience. Key Features: Special Focus on Local
Government Budgeting: focuses exclusively on budgeting at the local
levels of American government, which are responsible for spending
40 percent of the taxes collected from citizens. Integration of
Theory and Practice: teaching cases and chapters capture the
"lessons learned" by professional practitioners who have extensive
experience in making local public budgeting work on the ground.<
/li> Polity Approach to Local Budgeting: presents an
introduction to local budgeting as the central political activity
that integrates the resources of the community into a unified
whole. Budgeting is presented as governance work, rather than as a
unique set of skills possessed by analysts and financial
specialists. Legal, Historical, Economic and Moral Foundations of
Local Government Budgeting: provides readers with an understanding
of how the structures and processes of local budgeting systems are
firmly tethered to the underlying core values, legal principles and
historical development of the larger American federal, state and
local political systems. Electronic Datasets and Budgeting
Exercises: the text includes access to extensive electronic
datasets and practice exercises that provide abundant opportunities
for students to "learn through doing." Extensive Glossary and
Bibliography: covers terms on the history and practice of local
public budgeting.
