Urban economicsClass number: 338.9 Abstract: A comprehensive introduction to the economics of local economic development. The approach is people centered and recognizes contributions from other social sciences.Comprehensive coverage of traditional economic problems and issues are strengthened in this textbook by the recognition that the economic perspective should be supplemented by insights from other social sciences.

Local governmentClass number: 352.140 Abstract: Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative (LGI), as one of the programs of the Open Society Institute (OSI), is an international development and grant-giving organization dedicated to the support of good governance in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Newly Independent States (NIS). LGI seeks to fulfill its mission through the initiation of research and support of development and operational activities in the fields of decentralization, public policy formation and the reform of public administration. With projects running in countries covering the region between the Czech Republic and Mongolia, LGI seeks to achieve its objectives through:
* Development of sustainable regional networks of institutions and professionals engaged in policy analysis, reform-oriented traning and advocacy;
* Support and dissemination of in-depth comparative and regionally applicable policy studies tackling local government issues;
* Support of country-specific projects and delivery of technical assistance to the implementation agencies;
* Assistance to Soros foundations with the development of local government, public administration and/or public policy programs in their countries of the region;
* Publication of books, studies and discussion papers dealing with the issues of decentralization, public administration, good governance, public policy and lessons learned from the process of transition in these areas;
* Development of curricula and organization of training programs dealing with specific local government issues;
* Support of policy centers and think tanks in the region.
Apart from its own projects, LGI works closely with a number of other international organizations (Council of Europ, Department for International Development, USAID, UDNP and the World Bank) and co-funds larger regional initiatives aimed at the support of reforms on the sub national level. Local Government Information Network (LOGIN) and Fiscal Decentralization Initiatives (FDI) are two main examples of this cooperation.Contents note: Emilia Kandeva: Introduction to comparative local government in central and Eastern Europe : a Balkan perspective; Artan Hoxha: Local government in Albania; Charles Jokay: Local government in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Emilia Drumeva: Local government in Bulgaria; Stjepan Ivanisevic, Ivan Kopric, Jasna Omejec, Jure Simovic: Local government in Croatia; Ilja Todorovski: Local Government in the Macedonia; Liubomir Chiriac, Igor Munteanu, Victor Popa, Victor Mocanu: Local government in Moldova; Pena Coman, Eugen Crai, Monica Radulescu, Gabriella Stanciulescu: Local government in Romanial; Zeljko Sevic: Local government in Yugoslavia; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=15747 Hold

Public administrationClass number: 351 Abstract: Local territorial organization at the lowest level of towns, municipalities, and villages has changed in many countries in Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe since 1990. Territorial fragmentation has been a recent trend in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Macedonia, and several other countries. This was often a reaction to earlier territorial consolidations introduced by the communist government in an undemocratic manner, without any public consultation (like in the former Czechoslovakia and Hungary). After 1990, decentralization and a paradigm of local autonomy were often understood in a way that gave the right to become a separate local government to almost each settlement unit, even if that unit was a tiny village. Attempts to create or maintain larger territorial jurisdictions were seen as a violation of local autonomy. As a result, in several countries, there was a significant proportion of very small authorities, many of which had much less than 1,000 residents. Extreme examples of villages like Bidovce in the Czech Republic or Prikry in Slovakia, had fewer than 10 citizens. 3 Conversely, there were examples of territoriality consolidated countries (such as Yugoslavia/Serbia, Montenegro, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Poland) where the median size of the local government unit was much larger, though none of them had less than 1,000 residents. But the phenomenon of territorial fragmentation at the lowest tier has been widespread. Figure 1 provides a graphic illustration of this phenomenon in the individual countries of the region.
