The cooperation of municipalities
Pelechová, Iva ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Klazar, Stanislav (referee)
Inter-municipal co-operation (IMC) is one of the most challenging forms of co-operation between local authorities. If municipalities need to co-operate, isn't it because they are too small. And if they are too small, why not amalgamate then? IMC is often seen -- and feared -- as a first step towards amalgamation, or a bad compromise after the failure to amalgamate. It shouldn't. Across Europe, the reasons for inter-municipal co-operation vary to a considerable extent. And they are not necessarily linked to the excessive (for some) fragmentation of the municipal chart. Inter-municipal cooperation offers a serious way forward. It is not an easy option; it can be complex and it carries risk. But it has the potential to deliver significant advantages to all municipalities, both large and small.
