Thematic scope

How could local governments regain self-reliance, independence and agency that they have lost in recent years? Mood for decentralisation. What competencies of central government could be devolved to local government? The impact of devolution on the quality of public services, the time of response to the needs of citizens, and the possibility of local governments shaping their own reality. Flexibility and management efficiency on the local level in an unstable reality in terms of public health, finance, culture, and information technology development.
