Abstract
This book develops a comparative
institutional framework for responsive, responsible, and
accountable governance in developing countries. It provides
a synthesis of analytical literature on local governance.
It traces the historical evolution of local governance and
presents a stylized view of alternative models of local
governance practiced in various countries. It also presents
case studies for 10 countries by leading national and
international scholars. The country case studies present an
in-depth view of local government organization and finance
in each country.
