Local Political Leadership in Spain

Abstract

While different European programmes to modernise local government have clearly shown that local political leadership needs to be reinforced, the procedures designed to work towards attaining such a goal are less clear. Addressing this general problem, this article focuses on how this is to be achieved in Spain. It examines the political leadership of mayors in the ‘Big Cities’ as well as the suitability of the mechanisms envisioned to strengthen this leadership within the framework of the programme of modernising Spanish local government.
