Category : Central-local government relations
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The last 15 years have brought a dramatic change in public decision-making and policy building. A trend toward decentralisation has meant that sub-national governments increasingly find themselves responsible for providing a host of public goods and services. Although co-ordination is essential there is no "optimal" contractual arrangement that fits all co-ordination contexts. How then should governments decide which arrangements to pursue? This book offers an analytic framework for assessing multi-level governance arrangements, which is subsequently applied to five case studies of regional development policy: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. This book should be of interest to policy makers and practitioners seeking to identify and design new and better mechanisms for effective multi-level governance, to NGOs and firms engaged in regional development, and to academics interested in multi-level governance and regional policy.

Cohesion and Growth
Author: Willem Molle
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317539613
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
To combat economic disparity and low growth, the European Union has established an integrated policy system that pursues increased cohesion and smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. This integrated approach is realized through thousands of development projects and takes up more than a third of the total budget of the European Union. Despite its significance, the policy is subject to many misunderstandings and there is a lot of controversy surrounding its effectiveness. Cohesion and Growth seeks to bring clarity to these issues. It presents both the theoretical and practical aspects of EU intervention, a critical contribution to the understanding of the anatomy of the problems and the way to apply effective solutions to them, and a systematic view of the issues at each of the subsequent stages of the whole policy cycle. Offering an authoritative analysis of the problems and debates involved, this book is essential reading for students, policy makers, project promoters and researchers concerned with this key area of European policy making.
