"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
