Adopting the analytical and methodological tools of comparative historical analysis, it examines how the history of local government systems has conditioned the adoption of municipal amalgamation reforms across time and space. Beginning with Sweden’s early amalgamation reforms during the late 1940s and early 1950s, it assesses how the evolution of the Welfare State, decentralization, urbanization, and economic growth have all impacted amalgamation reforms in ten other European countries. .The book challenges the prevailing theory that amalgamations are implemented by rational design to improve the efficiency and capacity of local governments. Instead, it argues that state sovereignty, regime changes, centralization of authority and diffusion effects are more likely causes of the adoption of municipal amalgamation reforms. It will appeal to all those interested in public administration, public policy, European politics, and local governance studies.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Amalgamations; Local government; Municipalities; Territorial reforms; Sub-national governance; Comparativ | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-54736-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-54738-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-54736-2Series ISSN 2523-8248 Series E-ISSN 2523-8256 | | issn_series | 2523-8248 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
