      abstract = {"This book is based upon a comparative public  administration research project, initiated by the Hertie  School of Governance (Germany) and the Bertelsmann  Foundation (Germany) and supported by a network of  researchers from many EU countries. It analyzes both the  regimes and the practices of local fiscal regulation in 21  European countries. The book brings together key findings  of this research project. The regulatory discussion is not  limited to the prominent issue of fiscal rules but focuses  on every component of regulation. Beyond this, the book  covers affiliated topics such as the impact of regulation  for local governments, evolution of regulation,  administrative costs and crisis prevention. The various  book chapters throughout provide a broad picture of local  public finance regulation in theory and in practice, using  different theoretical and national lenses for the analysis.  Furthermore, the authors investigate the effects of  budgetary constraints and higher-level regulatory efforts  on local governments and on democracy and public services  in every European country. This book fills a gap with  respect to the lack of discussion on local government  finance from an international, comparative perspective and,  in particular, the regulation of local public finance. With  its mix of authors, this book will be useful for  practitioners as well as for scholars and for theory-driven  research"--},
