âPublic Administration in the Western sphere, and beyond, wouldnât be what it is without the German legal tradition of the âRechtsstaatâ, or Max Weberâs âbureaucracyâ. This book shows not only the foundations of the German system. It also explains, comprehensively and convincingly, how the German âmodelâ is transforming and adjusting to current and future challenges, while keeping solid principles of rule of law, democracy, and welfare state. Therefore, this book is a lighthouse for all those studying PA and reforming systems.â

âMost âlocal governmentâ books are written by believers. This book is different for its realistic visions of futures of local government. It shows how autonomy, digitalization, marketization, and amalgamation could be functional or dysfunctional, and also how this is affected by links to politics, and impacted by intergovernmental relations. This is a must read for all believers in local government.â

âThe twenty chapters of this book provide a timely and thought-provoking addition to our understanding of local self-governance in eight countries in Northern and Central Europe. This book was completed shortly before the Corona-crisis crashed in. But the lessons to be learned from this volume will doubtlessly prove important in fully exploiting local governmentâs potential in facing the challenges of the difficult times ahead.â
