Innovations and excellence understanding local governments in the Philippines / Alex B. Brillantes - Diliman, Philippines : Center for local and Regional Governance and National College of Public Administration and Governance, University of the Philippines, c2003 - ix, 165 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Chapter One. Decentralization, devolution and development in the Philippines -- Chapter Two. Local governance and NGOs in the Philippines: Issues and concerns -- Chapter Three. Global forces and local governments in the Philippines: challenges and responses -- Chapter Four. Doing things differently: innovations at the local level -- Chapter Five. What makes excellent local leaders: the local government leadership award -- Chapter Six. Towards the development of indicators for good local governance.
One of the major trends that may be readily observed in the world today is the opening up and loosening of the formal institution and processes of centralized governments within the context of redemocratization. This has occurred largely as a reaction to governments' general inability to "govern" mostly in terms of being responsive and effective in the delivery of basic services.
