What makes excellent local leaders: the local government leadership award -- Chapter Six. Towards the development of indicators for good local governance.

Summary: 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.
