Title Comparative metropolitan policy : governing beyond local boundaries in the imagined metropolis / Jen Nelles Author Nelles, Jen, 1979- (Author) Issue First issued in paperback Publication London ; New York : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2015 Scope 218 stran ; 23 cm Country United Kingdom ; United States Language English Edition Routledge research in comparative politics ; 48 Note Obsahuje bibliografii a rejstřík Annotation "This book explores the sources and barriers to cooperation and metropolitan policy making. It combines different streams of scholarship on regional governance to explain how and why metropolitan partnerships emerge and flourish in some places and fail to in others. It systematically tests this theory in the Frankfurt and Rhein-Neckar regions of Germany and the Toronto and Waterloo regions in Canada. Discovering that existing theories of metropolitan collective action based on institutions and opportunities are inconsistent, the author proposes a new theory of "civic capital", which argues that civic engagement and leadership at the regional scale can be important catalysts to metropolitan cooperation. The extent to which the actors hold a shared image of the metropolis and engage at that scale strongly influences the degree to which local authorities will be willing and able to coordinate policies for the collective development of the region." ---Routledge.com Výrazy tezauru město * metropole * městské společenství * region * územní samospráva * regionální orgány státní správy * Kanada * Německo Klasifikační znaky 2846 - Urbanismus a výstavba 0436 - Výkonná moc a státní správa ISBN 978-1-138-18614-9 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie book
