Local governance institutions: their role in the development of federative relations
The paper analyses different variants of the distribution of responsibilities between governments and the issues concerning enlargement of financial base for local governments. We consider local government here as a political and socio-economic base of any contemporary country. The tendency to decentralize government’s responsibilities treated as one of basic instruments to make government institutions work more efficient leads to the situation when more and more diversified financial instruments have been applied to support municipal units. The most prospecting instruments are those concerning effective coordination of inter-municipal programs.
