Lesson Drawing from the International Experience of Modernizing Local Governance

Abstract

Comparative perspectives on modernizing local governance provide a useful context for discussing change and continuity within the New Public Management paradigm. They highlight divergence within nation states as well as across nation states. The modernizing local governance debate challenges conventional boundaries between managerialism and public governance theory and new models are required to explore this territory. International case studies help to generate useful descriptive accounts of MLG policy tools and practices. Key lessons can be drawn out of these for further research to address gaps in understanding.
