Book Description
One of the last Prussian Reforms during the Napoleonic Era was the constitution of local autonomy for the cities. Proof of its lasting importance is that it was the cities that carried out the deficit-based employment policies of the early 1930s also had to carry the burden of a democratic reconstitution of Germany in the postwar period. After the crushing defeat at Napoleon’s hands, likewise the reconstitution of Prussia fell to the cities. Today, the same constellation of problems can be found on different stages. Europe, as it is growing together, faces a democracy deficit which ultimately will have to be addressed by the cities. The countries in transition and undergoing transformation likewise will have to find arenas for democratic decision making, which likely will be at the municipal level. Finally, the United States of America also faces a quagmire at the federal level which ultimately will have to be resolved at the state or local level. Contributions to this book examine all of these issues, making it of interest to students in urban studies, public administration, history and political science as well as policy-makers concerned with local government and autonomy.

Book Description
Local Autonomy as a Human Right contends that local communities struggle to preserve their territorial autonomy over time despite changes to the broader political and geographic contexts within which they are embedded. Forrest argues that this both reflects and is evidence of a worldwide embrace of local control as a key political and social value, indeed, of such importance that it should be embraced and codified as a human right. This study weaves together evidence grounded in a variety of disciplines - history, geography, comparative politics, sociology, public policy, anthropology, international jurisprudence, rural studies, urban studies -- to make clear that a presumed, inherent moral right to local self-determination has been manifested in many different historical and social contexts. This book constructs a compelling argument favoring a human right to local autonomy. It identifies practical factors that help to account for the relative success of communities that are able to assert local control over time. Here, particular attention is paid to whether localities are able to generate policy and organizational capacity. Forrest suggests that a focus on local policy and organizational capacity can help to explain why some communities attempting to assert greater local control are more successful than others. Local Autonomy as a Human Right contributes to scholarly debates regarding the varied impacts of globalization, with the place-based perspective and moral emphasis on territorial-centered rights put forth herein offering a necessary counter-narrative to the often-presumed predominance of global forces.

Book Description
L'autonomie locale au XXIe siècle, Entre tradition et modernisation. Cet ouvrage présente les actes du colloque, organisé à Vilnius par l'Observatoire de l'Autonomie Locale, en partenariat avec le Comité des Communes et des Réglons d'Europe, sur le thème de "l'autonomie locale en Europe ". Son objectif est de faire un état des lieux juridique, politique et managérial de l'organisation des administrations locales en Europe, en vue d'établir une typologie des systèmes d'administration locale. Car il ne sert à rien de comparer concrètement la gestion des services publics locaux et les méthodes de management de ces derniers en Europe si l'on n'a pas une bonne connaissance de l'existant. Faire un état de l'existant consiste à se dégager d'une vision purement statistique et par là même, théorique) du découpage des communes et des réglons européennes pour s'intéresser à l'état actuel des systèmes d'administration locale, à leur évolution à la lumière des nombreuses réformes en cours, tant dans la répartition des compétences entre l'Etat et les collectivités locales que dans la répartition des moyens matériels, humains et financiers (dont fiscaux).

The Afterword to this Edition looks at Russia’s revival as a world power under Vladimir Putin, and China’s ambitious economic development efforts that bring to mind Sun Yat-sen’s vision of The International Development of China.
