商品描述
This an Open access book. It provides a comparative and multidisciplinary analysis of how local governments perform their tasks and how these are financed. The volume stands out with three essential features. First, the comparative research reflected in the volume has a global geographical scope because it is the outcome of a Horizon 2020 project involving 18 partners from six continents. Therefore, it includes highly topical and so far under-researched case studies beyond just the European continent. Secondly, we look at the above-mentioned topics from a timely urban-rural perspective, as the ultimate aim is to explore the impact of the phenomenon of urbanisation on local governments and the response of urban and rural municipalities. Thirdly, the book focuses within broader research on municipal tasks and finances on several specific topics that have been revealed by our project as particularly relevant. These are public transport policies of urban and rural local governments, different ways of public service provision like PPP and public enterprises, financial equalization between urban and rural municipalities, as well as special fees as alternative sources of local revenue.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這是一本開放存取的書籍。它提供了一個比較性和多學科的分析，探討地方政府如何執行其任務以及這些任務的資金來源。本書有三個重要特點。首先，本書中反映的比較研究具有全球地理範圍，因為它是Horizon 2020計畫的成果，涉及來自六大洲的18個合作夥伴。因此，它包括了許多當前熱門且尚未深入研究的案例研究，超越了僅限於歐洲大陸的範疇。其次，我們從及時的城鄉視角來看上述主題，最終目的是探討城市化現象對地方政府的影響以及城市和鄉村市鎮的回應。第三，本書在更廣泛的市政任務和財務研究中，專注於我們的項目所揭示的幾個特定主題，這些主題被認為特別相關。這些主題包括城市和鄉村地方政府的公共交通政策、公共服務提供的不同方式如公私合營（PPP）和公共企業、城市和鄉村市鎮之間的財政平衡，以及作為地方收入替代來源的特殊費用。
