商品描述
This open access book analyses whether and to what extent fiscal transfers from central to local governments affect democracy at sub-national level. Fiscal transfers are often perceived to undermine democracy, as politicians utilise them to build patronage networks, weaken opposition candidates, and reward local governments that support them. On the other hand, others have argued that fiscal transfers serve to improve local governance, increase transparency, reduce corruption, and promote democracy. Drawing on eleven country case studies from Europe, Asia, and Africa, this book examines the extent to which local governments are affected with the risks connected with intergovernmental fiscal transfers. It will appeal to all those interested in public administration, public finance studies, and public policy.

這本開放存取的書籍分析了中央政府對地方政府的財政轉移是否以及在多大程度上影響了次國家層級的民主。財政轉移常常被認為會削弱民主，因為政治人物利用這些轉移來建立庇護網絡、削弱反對派候選人，並獎勵支持他們的地方政府。另一方面，另一些人則主張財政轉移有助於改善地方治理、提高透明度、減少腐敗並促進民主。這本書基於來自歐洲、亞洲和非洲的十一個國家案例研究，探討地方政府在多大程度上受到與政府間財政轉移相關的風險影響。它將吸引所有對公共行政、公共財政研究和公共政策感興趣的人士。
