Abstract

This book aims to document, through the selected national case studies, how fiscal transfers to local governments impact local democracy. The eleven country chapters selected and highlighted in the book explore the global effects of transfers in different political and institutional contexts. It also serves as a critique and provides a valuable source of information on different forms of impacts of transfers from higher levels of government to local self-government and ultimately on local democracy internationally.
