Full textAbstract:
All issuers in China’s local government bond market, which is nascent but growing rapidly, have the same AAA ratings. However, we provide evidence that the credit rating agency’s reputation can certify differences in ratings’ reliability and further impact bond pricing. On the basis of a sample of 7941 local government bonds issued from 2015 to 2021, results show that risk premium is significantly low for bonds rated by prestigious credit rating agencies, which means that issuers can save borrowing costs. Moreover, local governments regarded as less transparent in fiscal information disclosure enjoy more cost savings for their bonds by hiring more reputable agencies. Regression results are affirmed with the Heckman two-stage model, difference-in-differences regression, and machine learning method to solve the potential endogeneity issue. This paper’s findings contribute to the debate on the credit rating agency’s reputation hypothesis and present three implications. First, investors can rely on the credit rating agency’s reputation to complement credit risk analysis. Second, local government policymakers should implement appropriate policies to reduce debt costs and improve public finance sustainability. Lastly, regulators should considerably focus on the supervision of credit rating agencies, given their substantial impact on bond pricing and the market’s information asymmetry.

When it comes to identifying and accessing government information sources, publications from local government offices and departments can be one of the toughest areas out there. Local or municipal governments are typically categorized based on the category of government subdivision they fit, such as counties, cities, towns, or districts, but they are more frequently requested and accessed based on the surrounding geography. Some functions can be carried out in partnership with other government entities, as when a water or parks district works in concert with a county government; or when agencies at the regional level work directly under the mandate of a state or provincial government.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined 97 Texas government agencies’ access to in formal ion about hazards in their communities. The data indicate that printed products are still used more extensively than Internet products, which suggests that the transition from print to electronic dissemination of hazard analysis information should not exceed local agencies’ ability to access the Internet. Moreover, land use planners (LUPs) consistently were found to use computer applications more than emergency management coordinators (EMCs). This suggests that federal and state agencies should consider facilitating EMCs’ access to hazard analysis information by utilizing the computer applications with which their target audience is most familiar. Moreover, EMCs are more likely to make use of sophisticated hazard modeling applications if they have successfully mastered more basic computer applications or if they have partnered with LUPs in their communities who have mastered the advanced computer applications.

Full textAbstract:
The Constitutional Court strongly shows the effect of functional power control through judgment on disputes on jurisdiction in that judgment on disputes on jurisdiction facilitates the performance of state functions by maintaining an objective authority order and a system to protect the normative effect of the Constitution through checks and balances between horizontal and vertical powers of state agencies and local governments.
It can be understood that the relationship between ‘state agencies and local governments’ is the same as the relationship between ‘state and local governments’ in that agencies of the state or local governments exist for the state or local governments, but the legal effect resulting from the act of an agency belongs to the state or local government, which is a juridical person, as a subject of laws, not the agency.
Judgment on disputes on jurisdiction and agency litigation are basically the same in that they argue over authority between juridical persons or the agencies.
Since agency litigation is a lawsuit between opposing agencies that has the meaning of separation of powers in the distribution of authority within the organization, the limited theory, which means a lawsuit between internal agencies of the same juridical person, is considered reasonable.
It is a constitutional decision that the current Constitution stipulates “local governments” as a party to judgment on disputes on jurisdiction, and the Constitutional Court Act stipulates that “violation of authority granted by law” should be seen as embodying constitutional decisions in that much of the “jurisdiction dispute between state agencies and local governments” or “jurisdiction dispute between local governments” is legal disputes.
Local governments need agencies because they cannot exercise their authority on their own, and the agency exercises its own authority for local governments. The legal effect caused by the exercise of that jurisdiction belongs to the local government, which is the subject of the law, but it would be reasonable for the party to dispute for jurisdiction infringement to have its own jurisdiction and to become an agency to actually exercise that jurisdiction.

Full textAbstract:
Strategic planning has been emphasized in the public sector to enhance government performance and accountability. However, little empirical research exists on participative management in strategic planning and its impact on employees' job satisfaction in government agencies. This study explores the relationships between employees' perceived input in strategic plan development, knowledge of the strategic plan, role clarity in strategic planning, and job satisfaction in local government agencies. The results of multiple regression analysis demonstrate that employees who perceive they have input in a department's strategic plan development express higher levels of job satisfaction than others who do not. The present study also supports the view that employees' clear understanding of their roles in accomplishing the goals in strategic plan is positively associated with job satisfaction. In this regard, organizational leaders' commitment to participative management and empowerment in the process of strategic planning should be emphasized in the public sector.

This study aims to analyze the relation of attitude, ethical climate-principle, perceived behavioral control, and personal cost on whistleblowing intention with organizational commitment as a moderating variable. This study uses the moderating regression analysis method. The sample used is employees who work in the Office of the Inspectorate and the Regional Finance and Revenue Management Agency (BPKPD) of Pasuruan Regency. The variables of attitude and perceived behavioral control have a positive effect on whistleblowing intention, the variable of ethical climate principle has no effect on whistleblowing intention, and the variable of personal cost has a negative effect on whistleblowing intention as the results of this study. Further results also inform that the variable of organizational commitment as moderating variable and strengthen the role of the theory of planned behavior in shaping a government apparatus intention as a whistle blower.

Full textAbstract:
In 1984 the Hawke Government appointed a National Inquiry to review the federal revenue-sharing grants for local government introduced eight years previously, and to propose desirable aims and a basis for future federal support. Australian local government is on a small scale and closely under the control of state governments; federal support raises complex issues of intergovernmental relations. In this paper, the wide-ranging Report of Inquiry, and its political outcome, are related to basic issues about federal-state relations and the rationale and extent of federal interventions. In particular, the Australian experience is interesting for its attempts at combining vertical redistribution of revenue with ambitious and detailed equalisation policies, financed at federal level but administered by independent state agencies.

Full textAbstract:
In Indonesia, local government accountability is a reflection of its performance that can be seen from the disclosure of local government financial statements in accordance with Government Regulation (PP) Number 71 of 2010 concerning Government Accounting Standards. Based on the reference and the previous study, the level of adequacy of financial statement disclosure is influenced by several factors: audit findings, legislative size, local government budget expenditure, intergovernmental revenue, and the number of local governments’ agencies. This study analyzes the effect of those factors on the disclosure of local government financial statements in Central Java Provence, Indonesia from 2017 to 2019. This is a quantitative study with secondary data types obtained from Local Government Financial Report Examination Results (LHP LKPD) districts/cities in Central Java Province in 2017 – 2019. The sample consists of 75 local government financial statement disclosure from 34 districts or cities obtained through purposive sampling methods. The analysis method uses multiple linear regression. The result shows audit findings and local government budget expenditure affect the disclosure of local government financial statements. Meanwhile, the legislative size, intergovernmental revenue and number of local governments agencies do not affect the local government financial statements disclosure. This research can be used as an evaluation for local governments in increasing transparency and accountability in their financial management by applicable laws and regulations. This study has limitations that do not describe the overall level of disclosure of local government financial statements, in future research, it is expected to use a longer period and expand the research area.

Control of local governments in countries around the world is very diverse,but mainly divided into two categories: 1) control of state agencies (central government control, court control, control of local power representations); 2) control of social institutions including political party control over local government, control of organizations and public associations, control of the media, and control of the people. The paper focuses on analysing the controlling local governments in some countries, thereby giving reference values for Vietnam.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTAfter a sharp increase, the public debt of French local communities has been stabilized in real terms: its amount reached 54 per cent of total public debt in 1980. In the French institutional framework, local government borrowing policy is under the tight control of central agencies. An econometric model of the borrowing behaviour of local governments since 1965 is presented; it emphasizes the role of internal determinants of local debt (needs for investment, self-financing ability of governments), external constraints (e.g. interest rates and the financial resources of lenders, such as households savings), and finally the impact of macroeconomic policy measures from the central government.

"Master Data Domains Prioritization and Privacy Classification in Government Agencies: An empirical study of Malaysia Local Government." International Journal of Engineering & Technology 7, no. 3.20 (September 1, 2018): 322. http://dx.doi.org/10.14419/ijet.v7i3.20.19174.
Full textAbstract:
Master data is the most valuable information in each government agency such as customers, suppliers, products, accounts, and the relationships between them. In government agencies, master data are scattered across various agencies, managed in a silo environment in multiple applications and database systems. This silo data management issue led to data quality issues such as data duplication and also may cause disaster to the agencies due to the complexity and higher cost and resource requirement. To resolve the issue, the Master Data Management (MDM) implementation at central level could minimize the data duplication problem by establishing a single source of truth by consolidating and integrating multiple master data from multiple agencies into central repository. The central repository can be referred by other applications across multiple agencies instead of creating new entities in their local database systems. However, in the initial stage of the MDM implementation process, master data across government agencies must be assessed and prioritized to ensure the success of the implementation. Hence, this study aims to clarify the domains prioritization and the privacy classification of master data in government agencies by using a qualitative and quantitative data analysis approach. It involves participative case studies from seven (7) Malaysia’s local government agencies. The study identifies 36 sets of master data which generally prioritized into three domains which are; 1) services and products, 2) customers, and 3) service providers. From these master datasets, 20 datasets (56%) are classified as open data. The result of this study is in contrast with most of the current literatures that stated the MDM typically prioritize on the customer data domain as compared to other domains. This study also indicates that the government agency has a high potential to share these open master data to the centralized MDM platform with worry-free of the privacy issues.

The notion of governance is fundamental in the management of every given society, and for this to be realized, there is that need in placing powers in the hands of it's community for the proper enhancement of the community. In it's plight of achieving credible development and potential Justice system, there that need of the local Self-Government agencies to be fully involved in the well-being of the society. It is therefore in this light that this article is explore to study and compare international experience in the area of local self-government agencies functioning, providing propositions on its implementation in Ukraine. International experience in exercising the powers by local self-government agencies is analyzed; offers concerning its adaptation in Ukraine are given. It is noted that local self-government agencies constitute an important component of the functioning and development of any country, but their impact on ensuring the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the community, addressing their pressing issues is one that needs improvement. The positive aspect of decentralization is also due to the shift of a significant part of administrative powers from the center to municipalities and local communities in society, especially in its progressive part, there is a real chance to implement those changes, at least at the local level, which are extremely necessary for a long period of time. Conversely, if the central authorities are endowed with the maximum amount of power and imperative powers, while leaving local self-government agencies a fairly narrow amount of real power, the development tendencies of such a state will be mostly negative.

The division of the powers and responsibilities of government in London has been a constant source of friction and debate between central and local government. In the wake of the abolition of the Greater London Council, the Conservative government waited for the corporate sector to take the lead. When this failed to materialise, a complicated array of unelected agencies and partnerships were constructed to promote London, deliver services and allocate expenditure. This paper reviews the nature and function of these organisations and examines proposals for regional development agencies and an elected strategic authority for the capital arising from the election of a Labour government in May 1997. While pointing to considerable organisational innovation, for instance in the setting up of the Government Office for London, it is argued that, during 18 years of Conservative government, the emphasis on policy delivery through a variety of discrete partnership agencies deliberately overlooked issues of subsidiarity and local accountability. Thus the debate about the relationship between central and local government in London reflects substantial philosophical differences between the two parties. The Labour government's proposals for a strategic authority and regional development agency will require a substantial reallocation of powers and functions between a number of overlapping and competing agencies and a redefinition of what are legitimately local and central functions.

Full textAbstract:
Recent disasters have increased the public’s awareness of the lack of emergency preparedness of state and local governments. The attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 highlighted failures in government agency coordination, while the anthrax attacks that followed and the more recent natural disasters of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 have deepened concerns that our government is unprepared for emergencies. Partially in response to the public’s concern, the federal government has encouraged Continuity of Operations (COOP) planning at the federal, state, and local government levels.Public attention, government engagement, and the promulgation of federal directives and guidance are leading to an increase in the standard of care for all public sector planning efforts, thus creating potential liabilities in the areas of COOP planning, testing, training, and maintenance. At this point, COOP planning is becoming the norm for state and local government agencies, and while the process of COOP planning may itself expose agencies to certain liabilities, there is also an increase in the potential liability for agencies that do not undertake COOP planning efforts. Further, it appears that the potential liability of agencies that do not engage in COOP planning far exceeds any liabilities incurred through the planning process.

We investigated public health emergency management networks during the recent outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus that affected more than 17 000 people in South Korea. We administered a survey to 169 organizations in order to map the pattern of communication and response networks during the Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak. We also conducted 11 semistructured interviews with national, regional, and local government officials to comprehend inhibiting and facilitating factors in risk communication and response to the system. National ministries or agencies play central roles in coordinating and supporting the overall response, and local and regional governments or agencies interact with other governments and agencies. Governmental agencies coordinating and/or supporting the outbreak response had difficulties in communicating with other agencies because of the ambiguity of the nature of the infectious disease, slow information disclosure, differences in the organizational priorities, different information standards, and the limitations of the information system. To better respond to a virus outbreak, government agencies need to improve hierarchical communication among different levels of governments, horizontal communication and cooperation between same types or different types of agencies, and information systems.

Effect of local level disaster response is always questionable in Nepal. It is because the capacity of local responding bodies' i.e. local administration, elected representatives and security forces is deficit. Overlooking own role and responsibility by public service offices such as health, water supply, road network, rural development, communication, education has overburdened the responsibility of CDO during disaster response and eroded the effectiveness of cluster approach. Similarly, over-reliance on security forces from relief and rescue to rehabilitation and reconstruction have also garnered lethargy amongst civil administration and public service offices wearing away their capacity. For that reason, it is utmost important that the prevailing tendency should be altered and derailed local level response mechanism should be brought into the right track.

The state of Michigan has 191 432 km (118,950 mi) of roadway (paved and unpaved), including highways, roads, and streets. Local government agencies, which are responsible for 176 270 km (109,529 mi) of these roads and streets, commonly use a pavement management system (PMS) called RoadSoft to assist in managing their pavement network. A key element of any PMS is its ability to predict future pavement performance. A study is described in which various deterministic and probabilistic models were evaluated using data from two Michigan counties. It was found that the logistic growth model and the Markov model provided the best combination of predictive ability and potential for applicability in Michigan counties. A comparison between these models found that their predictive ability for four pavement segments with different deterioration rates was good, with the Markov model offering the added advantage of representing future performance as a probability distribution, not as a single condition state. Current plans are to implement the logistic growth model in RoadSoft by the end of 1999 and to add the Markov model as local organizations gather sufficient pavement condition data over the next 5 years. It is hoped that these two pavement deterioration models can be implemented in the RoadSoft PMS to improve pavement performance prediction.

Local self-government is an integral part of a democratic society, since it actively influ-ences the political and socio-economic conditions for the development of civil society, and becomes an important prerequisite for the creation of a democratic and legal state. The de-velopment of legislative principles of local self-government in the Ukrainian state is influ-enced by the experience of Western standards of local self-government, the practice of state building in Eastern European and other countries. An important factor for the devel-opment of self-government institutions is the process of globalization, which significantly changes socio-political relations, changes the principles of interaction of territorial com-munities, political organizations and local self-government agencies. The authors of the ar-ticle study the current theoretical and methodological, legal and practical aspects of local self-government in Ukraine. The historical regularities of the formation and development of local self-government in Ukraine (1991–2019) are studied. The stages of the formation and reform of local self-government and territorial organization of public power in Ukraine are determined, namely the authors have distinguished three stages: 1990-1996 (formation of the institution of local self-government of independent Ukraine before the adoption of the Constitution); 1996–2014 (development of the Constitutional principles of local self-government); from 2014 to the present day (reform of local self-government of Ukraine, decentralization). The current problems of ensuring the effective functioning of local self-government agencies are studied.

Abstract Much research following Kaufman’s classic study Are Government Organizations Immortal? has investigated the claim that government agencies enjoy great security and long life. Less attention has been paid to Kaufman’s thesis that government agencies facing a termination threat have strong incentives to react. In a study of the on-going Norwegian local government amalgamation reform, we demonstrate that this type of government agency reacts by hoarding (i.e., a last-minute flurry of spending) when faced with a termination threat. This finding shows that agencies facing termination threats are active players in the termination game. We discuss implications for research on agency termination and design implications for reformers of the public sector.

South Africa’s Local Economic Development Agencies have emerged as appropriate institutional structures for advancing socio-economic development in the local government-led development landscape, due to the inability of local municipalities to lead local economic development. This shift signifies that South Africa is turning to local economic development strategies to address developmental challenges, such as poor socio-economic conditions (unemployment, poverty and inequality), by creating local development solutions and employment opportunities. This article utilises the developmental state theory to examine the role of Local Economic Development Agencies in South Africa’s aspirations of becoming a capable developmental state. While the developmental state literature is concerned with the central role of the state in economic development, this article extends the developmental state theory to the subnational level by arguing that the developmental local government is the local developmental state. In addition, the article locates Local Economic Development Agencies within the developmental state paradigm by showing that Local Economic Development Agencies were established as economic development coordinators at the subnational level to assist local government in addressing South Africa’s triple challenges. Although the roles and functions of South African Local Economic Development Agencies are aligned to the developmental state ideology, their developmental mandate is undermined by the lack of coordination within local institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Interest in how social assistance programmes are organized has recently heightened, fed by concerns about the limits on achieving greater efficiency. Most available evidence considers performance indicators that are too general, there being few studies relating the use of inputs to outcomes. We compare different performance indicators of Madrid's programme with resource endowments in a group of local agencies of social services. In addition to constructing a detailed system of input and performance indicators, an empirical analysis of efficiency for each of the social services agencies is carried out using data envelopment analysis. Results confirm that there is a wide margin for obtaining efficiency gains. The empirical analysis shows that some detected inefficiencies arise from an excessive number of staff in relation to the work to be performed. Agencies with a higher incidence of social problems present higher efficiency scores.

Full textAbstract:
Collaboration is an approach and concept of managing public policy in Makassar, Indonesia. Recently, the municipality of Makassar has capitalized on the collaboration of local government agencies regarding public affairs to prevent issues of Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH). ARH is a strategic issue for local government so that it is solved collaboratively. The collaborating governmental organization comprises the Department of Education, Health, Family Planning, and all of the Urban Villages. This research employed a qualitative method focusing on the analysis of collaborative phenomena of local government agencies in Generation Planning Program through Adolescent Counseling Information Center (ACIC) and Adolescent Families Development (AFD) in Makassar. Data were obtained and analyzed in an orderly and structured manner with general qualitative approach. Based on the field research, the local government agencies collaborate in two ways. The first collaboration deals with the sectoral term which is the involvement of the government agencies related to adolescent reproductive health policy. The second collaboration deals with the regional term including the involvement of the Sub-District and Urban Villages in Makassar as grassroots bureaucracy. Collaborative themes and relations are the main findings in this article. An interesting theme in the idea of collaboration is mutual interdependence, while an exciting theme in the implementation of collaborative action is joint interaction. Organizational relationships in collaboration between local government agencies are coordination, consolidation, consultation, and command. This study concluded that sectoral and regional collaboration is proper in bringing a solution to public health affairs that are very complex.

This study aimed to analyze the role of Local Disaster Relief Agencies (LDRA) in influencing the local government of Pandeglang Regency to amend previous regional regulations supporting disaster risk reduction. This research was conducted on the coast of the Sunda Strait, Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia, which was the site of the 2018 tsunami. A qualitative approach including in-depth interviews, direct observation on the field, and documentation based on the values, beliefs, and knowledge of thirteen informants was adopted to support tsunami risk studies by developing local regulations. The results revealed that 1) the utilization of the Sunda Strait coast is not prioritized in disaster risk reduction; 2) implementing the prescribed role as a facilitator between the government and the community and the enacted role based on the reality on the field by conducting a disaster risk study in Pandeglang Regency, where the tsunami disaster becomes a priority disaster to address. With these results, the government and House of Local Representative members can consider changing previous regional regulations into new regional regulations that support efforts to reduce the risk of a tsunami disaster. The practical implications of this research suggest that every LDRA in Indonesia should use the results of disaster risk studies that are tailored to regional disaster priorities to capture the attention of local governments and secure disaster programs to be executed effectively every year.

Full textAbstract:
The public service agency is a central or regional government agency that provides paid services to the community. Usually, public service agencies also provide paid parking, for example, hospitals. In local government parking tax, parking provision carried out by government agencies is excluded from the tax imposition. Meanwhile, the central government in the Value Added Tax (VAT) provisions excludes parking services. So, the purpose of this study is to explain the comparison of the VAT Law and the Local Taxes Law requirement related to parking provision services, describe the relationship between paid parking from the public service agency and the VAT and the Local Taxes Law provision, and explain the ideal taxation of paid parking provision from the public service agency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results clarify that VAT negative list provision in relation to the Local Taxes Law is one way to avoid double taxation on the same object. Paid parking from public service agency is generally one of the exceptions to the imposition of parking taxes according to the Local Taxes Law because it is a parking space administered by the central government and local governments. However, public service agencies may use third-party services to provide paid parking for its parking lot. This paid parking spaces provision service belongs to a public service agency by a third party is a parking tax based on the Local Taxes Law. Meanwhile, the delivery of parking lot management services carried out by third parties is the object of VAT.

Archival evidence suggests that in Smolensk the February Revolution and the subsequent democratization of local government did not significantly alter the staffing or routines of state administrative agencies, and that therefore the state’s ability to govern the localities did not suffer from loss of administrative expertise and associated disruption of administrative practices. The evidence also indicates an expansion of administrative duties in 1917: local government agencies not only inherited existing tasks from the tsarist regime, primary among which were matters related to the war, but also took on new concerns reflecting socialist conceptions of the revolution’s aims. Increased administrative work loads added to the factors taxing the state’s capacity and straining its ability to act locally in 1917.

ABSTRACT During the 2006 Legislative session, the Washington Department of Ecology received $1.45 million to pre-stage oil spill response equipment throughout the state. In the event of a spill, this equipment can be rapidly mobilized and deployed for spill containment or to protect local resources. Equipment caches are customized for each recipient. Available equipment includes storage trailers, boom vanes, containment boom, anchor systems, navigation lights, adsorbent materials, responder protective clothing, and safety and decontamination equipment. Recipients also receive equipment familiarization training with their mutual aid response agencies. Eligible recipients include local government public agencies, such as Counties, Fire and Police Departments, Port Districts, Public Utility Districts, Emergency Management Departments, and Tribes. Grant are awarded based on: substantial threat of an oil spill, resources that will be protected, recipient'S ability and willingness to deploy the equipment, proximity of nearby response equipment, and partnerships with other agencies. As of March 2007, Ecology and its contractor, Global Diving and Salvage have:Delivered equipment to 36 of 60 recipients.Pre-staged 47 of 97 equipment caches.Pre-staged 32,600’ of 52,600’ of containment boomTrained approximately 400 of 1,000 first responders. Equipment delivery and training will be completed by June 2007. This equipment has been used to avert potentially devastating spills. Examples of successful use of the pre-staged response equipment include:The City of Gig Harbor initiated a spill response by deploying containment boom and adsorbent materials at the Peninsula Yatch Basin Marina when a vessel carrying 200 gallons of diesel caught fire.Tacoma'S Fire and Police Departments deployed adsorbent materials when a vessel sank at the Delin Docks Marina on the Thea Foss Waterway.The San Juan DEM and the Island Oil Spill Association established a protection zone with containment boom during the raising of the sunken F/V Stanley.

This paper examines how the operation of State-Local Government Joint Account affects the impact of local government, in executing rural development programmes at the grassroots. The intention of the constitution is to forge cooperation between the state and local governments in managing efficiently local government allocations from Federation Account for the benefit of local people, but reports and agitation of the people on nature of operation of the account proves otherwise. For the purpose of contributing towards the reform of the operation of the account, the paper examines the nature of the operation of the account in some selected states, evaluates the effects of the operation on the local government impacts on rural development, and identifies ways of improving the operation of the account to achieve its objectives. In the process, descriptive analysis method was adopted in examining the available secondary data. However, the findings indicate that the state governments manipulate the account to the disadvantage of local governments. Also, most local governments are unable to contribute significantly to rural development activities because of paucity of funds. Therefore, the paper recommends way out to improve the operation of the account, instead of abolishing it, through effective budgeting; compliance, monitoring, and enforcement by Community Development Associations (CDAs); and prevention of mismanagement and diversion of funds by Anti-corruption agencies.

Full textAbstract:
Central-local budgetary arrangements have undergone numerous changes since the 1960s as the Chinese government in its quest for modernization has sought to balance the needs of central control and local autonomy. During the reform period, the falling tax share of GNP and a commitment to greater decentralization of the planning system led to major changes in the public finance system that have devolved expenditure responsibilities and financial authority to local governments. Fiscal decentralization has been credited with hardening budget constraints for local publicly controlled enterprises and government agencies. New budgetary relations have instilled fiscal discipline, allowing local governments to disburse more expenditures only if they generated more revenues. These reforms have helped unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of local bureaucrats, fuelling the rapid growth of rural industry.

This article provides a comprehensive review of the use of information and communication technologies by urban local bodies in India in their war against the COVID-19 pandemic based on a detailed survey conducted during the pandemic period. India reported its first case of COVID-19 in late January, and government authorities have been on a war footing since then to curb the spread of the virus. Following a tradition that has been instilled within government agencies since the Modi Government came into power in 2014, local, state, and central government agencies turned to a widespread use of geospatial, surveillance and information and communication technologies as part of a strategy to monitor and track movement, manage individuals, and enforce quarantine norms. However, several important questions arise from the blind use of technology that remain unanswered. The use of technology by government agencies raise key questions on privacy, civil liberties, and suitability and viability of their use.

Government communications typically use social media for federal agencies, national policies, and emergency cases. However, it is crucial to understand the use of these platforms within local government agencies. This investigation fills this gap and includes social media data during three months of the COVID-19 pandemic and compares it with previous trends. The research question that leads this research is: How has government social media use and communication behavior changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic? This research analyzes a study case applied to a local Mexican government agency named ISSEMyM. We analyze the data during the period between October 2017 and June 2020. Findings reveal a consistent use of Twitter and Facebook for communication by the ISSEMyM government agency. Also, it indicates an increase in engagement and communication flow over three years. We found that official local government communications remained unchanged during the whole period. We found no change in interaction, number of followers, and message structure during this period; however, the COVID-19 pandemic radically alters interactions, followers, and user engagement.

Full textAbstract:
The responses of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Petron, government line agencies, local government authorities and non-government organizations to the 2006 Solar I oil spill were moderated by their relative positions within overlapping and competing disaster-specific frameworks at the agency (PCG), local and regional levels. The regional Task Force Solar I Oil Spill (RTFSOS), once convened, overshadowed the other frameworks owing largely to national calamity funds channeled through its member line agencies. While the task force design allowed for better job delineation and horizontal coordination between a limited number of stakeholders, the framework nevertheless marginalized the PCG, local government authorities and NGOs while endowing Petron a legitimate basis for its involvement in response operations. The absence of a widely-accepted protocol for ameliorating the spill’s environmental and human health impact created tension between line government agencies and academic/research communities. Unlike other disasters, the prospect of financial largesse from the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund, either as reimbursements for response activities and compensation for livelihood losses, animated stakeholder and local reactions.

Full textAbstract:
The Contraction out of local government has been administered without any definite standards, so some practical issues are exposed, where the only legal basis for it is a provision of the Local Autonomy Act. However, such practical issues consequently become the issue of whether it needs the consent of the local council.
Even the contracting out of local governments based on laws and the contracting out between local governments, if necessary, should be subject to local laws and regulations and public agencies should be restrictively interpreted, ultimately to clarify the objects of the consent of local councils. How to administer the consent of local councils appears as an issue in regard to the councils’ authority to consent.
Although the contracting out of local governments is intended to use private agencies’ expertise and ensure the public openness to citizens, by allowing them to participate in public sectors, its nature as public affairs does not change. It is thus necessary to consider the rule of local councils’ consent in terms of the contraction out of local governments, as a measure for controlling the general monopolization of heads of local governments and securing the efficiency and fairness of it, for executive agencies and local councils to pursue public benefit, based on the principle of check and balance.

Full textAbstract:
The “Chief” of local government is a middle manager within the organization. This role is responsible for the communications and implementation of various policies of the county and city governments externally. Internally, the role is responsible for team building and giving work directions. If it is possible to cultivate the person to become a “knowledge worker” through trainings, this can strengthen one’s job competency and effectively enhance the agency’s administration performance. Public service with better quality can be provided. This study adopts the “survey techniques.” The survey is based on the “managerial core competency items of the mid and high-level management positions in the agencies under the Executive Yuan.” There are 6 items of core competency aspects (problem analysis, project management, performance management, information management, communications and coordination, and team building) established and there are 16 items as basic competencies. Testing is applied to the middle manager, the director and deputy director and chief of staff of the service units of the K City government based on the survey highlights. It is hoped to discuss the managerial core competencies and their training requirements for the middle manager of the local government. The purpose is to enhance the competency at the job in order to strengthen the managerial core competency of the middle manager of the City government. Thank you to K City government for authorizing the use of the original data of the above survey. Based on the research results, it has been confirmed that the Junior rank civil service middle manager established by the Executive Yuan, its managerial core competency items are applicable to local government. Under training resource constraints for the agencies, the trainings for the middle managers of the local government shall be prioritized and strengthened based on the needs: They are competencies in “performance expression and communications” and “job motivation” and continue to maintain the 7 core competency items in “problem identification,” “program planning,” “communication expression,” “conflict management,” “job instruction,” “team management” and “knowledge management.”

Under the influence of globalization and the European Union membership accession process, important administrative reform initiatives have been taken in Turkey in the 2000s in the framework of economic, social, political, cultural and technological needs. In this process, central government agencies and administrations, public financial management, local governments and similar public organizations have undergone important transitions. The most important initiative taken to achieve regional governance is the establishment of Regional Development Agencies (RDAs). The present study performs a 10-year longitudinal analysis of RDAs in Turkey in the context of governance and local elites. The first phase of the study was conducted in 2010, and the second phase was conducted in 2019. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether RDAs have realized their potential in local democracy, sustainable development and decentralization, as well as to define the characteristics of policies to be pursued in line with further development of these agencies. Consequently, it has been observed that maintaining a centralized state tradition, along with institutional deficiencies, has transformed RDAs into an apparatus of the central government.

Full textAbstract:
In Hungary migration is an issue almost exclusively and entirely managed by the central government through its agencies. The policy on migration and its implementation are decisively handled by the government. The legal background is arranged through legislation that serves political purposes: a coherent system of new legislative acts and decrees were passed, and others were modified. The implementation of this disposition is realized by authorities directly controlled by the government, including the decisions made on requests for asylum, other types of recognition, or for subsidies. In this centralized system, not much is left to do for local self-governments. Legislation deprived local self-governments of the possible instruments that would serve the management of migration. The decision makers of local self-governments are strongly influenced by the central political guidelines, as well as by the local population. Thus, the issue of supporting the integration of migrants by Hungarian local self-governments is very difficult to examine.
