Compiled and written by people who participated in one way or another in the experience of democratic consolidation, this account documents the dynamics of local government transformation and captures the key themes of the debates about policy options, lessons, and key strategic decisions.
Aiming to ensure that municipalities play a key role in creating more democratic, non-racial, equitable, and sustainable communities, towns and cities, this volume raises critical questions about the kinds of challenges that all those involved with the future of local governance will face in the years ahead. This text will be an indispensable resource for government officials, students, researchers, and community leaders alike.
