Beschreibung:
Many countries in the Southern African region have undergone a process of fundamental political, economic and social restructuring which has subsequently affected local government and development. In this volume, experts from twelve countries in the region review the process of democratisation and decentralisation. They try to evaluate critically the historical development of local government in each of these countries, highlight good practices in management and development in the region and provide information about local government democratisation and decentralisation in the form of case studies and comparative experiences.
