The project Local Government and the Changing Urban-Rural Interplay (LoGov) was completed last year. The Institute of Federalism was a partner in the project. It has now published three key books presenting its work from three main perspectives: citizen participation, intergovernmental relations, and municipal financing, with both rural and urban approaches.

Based on field research on practical topics such as public transport and participatory budgets, these books are important references for students, researchers, public officials, and anyone interested in local governance. All of them are available in open access.

You can also read the cross-cutting conclusions on intergovernmental relations written by Professor Eva Maria Belser here:

All LoGov publications (White Paper, Country Reports, etc.) are also available in open access on the project website:
