Produktbeschreibung
Metropolitan Governance and Policy explores how partnerships between local governments are established or maintained. Cooperation between local actors is the fundamental foundation of governance networks, yet how cooperative relationships are established remains underexpored and poorly understood. What factors encourage or hinder cooperation between municipalities for regional governance of economic development? In investigating this question, the book integrates the different approaches of regionl governance and intermunicipal cooperation scholarship into one theoretical framework that investigates how local institutions and externally-generated opportunities affect the strength of cooperative partnerships. The influence of these factors on cooperation between municipal governments is tested in four metropolitan regions and across three issue areas. Metropolitan Governance and Policy will be of interest to students and scholars of urban politics and governance, and comparative politics.
How are metropolitan regions governed? What makes some regions more effective than others in managing policies that cross local jurisdictional boundaries? Political coordination among municipal governments is necessary to attract investment, rapid and efficient public transit systems, and to sustain cultural infrastructure in metropolitan regions. In this era of fragmented authority, local governments alone rarely possess the capacity to address these policy issues alone.
