This comprehensive Handbook analyses the political, financial, administrative and managerial dimensions of subnational governments. It examines the profound differences between forms of subnational governance across the world, as well as the common challenges faced by governments below the national level.

Chapters provide detailed case studies of more than twenty subnational governments, analysing how different degrees and forms of self-rule have impacted the well-being of local populations. Alongside studying specific regional responsibilities and governance arrangements, contributors also address four central aspects of subnational governments across the world - innovation, intergovernmental tensions, fiscal issues, and delivery arrangements. They examine important issues including incomplete decentralization, challenges to governmental autonomy, and lack of citizen support. Ultimately, the Handbook highlights the growing importance of subnational governments in designing, adopting and implementing policy, and providing key services to their communities.

Providing a nuanced understanding of diverse forms of subnational government, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of governance, public management and administration, political science, and intergovernmental relations. It will also be essential reading for policy-makers and practitioners seeking to understand subnational governance as practised today.
