Abstract

"Good local governance" reflects the dual functions of local government. On the one hand, democratic regimes gain input legitimacy by responsiveness and by being inclusive towards the preferences of their citizens. On the other hand, they achieve output legitimacy by effectively delivering public goods and services. Their governance strategies follow three major paths - "decentralisation, " "political administrative reforms" and "participatory reforms". But national contexts, actors, political culture and path dependency matter a lot. In this book continent-wide developments are compared by using relevant country studies. This comparative approach focuses on "developing countries" in Asia, Africa and Latin America, comparing and contrasting their experience with that of European countries

Abstract

This book explores sub-municipal units’ (SMU) role in decision making, decentralized institutional innovation, social innovation and, in rural areas, service delivery. Focusing on fourteen European countries, the book examines the impact of political cultures, administrative traditions and local government systems on the functioning of the SMUs. An under-explored topic in the literature, this book provides a comprehensive, comparative European, thematically broad, descriptive book on sub-municipal governance. .

Abstract

Die Bedeutung der Digitalisierung für Politik und Gesellschaft ist ein hoch aktuelles Themenfeld, das immer stärker auch politikwissenschaftlich beforscht und gelehrt wird. Die Beiträge des Bandes versammeln dazu programmatische Positionen, welche zentrale Aspekte und Perspektiven der sozialwissenschaftlichen Digitalisierungsforschung darstellen und diskutieren. Hierzu zählen u.a. Forschungsfelder aus den Bereichen Partizipations- und Parteienforschung, Governance der Digitalisierung, methodische Reflexionen über Computational Social Science und die Analyse von Demokratie und Öffentlichkeit unter den Bedingungen der Digitalisierung. » Mit dem Sammelband [...] wird ein disziplinärer und interdisziplinärer Überblick über die neuere Forschung zum Thema Politik und Digitalisierung vorgelegt.« Jos Schnurer, www.socialnet.de, 24.01.2020 Besprochen in: Der Tagesspiegel, 27.02.2020, Christoph David Piorkowski
