Municipal Entrepreneurship: A Five Nation Study of Energy Politics, Innovation and Social Change
The authors present case studies from innovative and diverse municipalities in Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden and the United States. The studies document problems these communities encountered while implementing new ideas in energy conservation, changes in energy supply, and municipal planning. The case studies highlight the challenges policy entrepreneurs face and the tactics they employ, revealing crucial differences between public and private sector entrepreneurship.
There are very few empirical studies of municipal administration with similar breadth of comparison, and the countries examined are of significant interest because they have been at the forefront of innovation.
Researchers and laymen alike usually associate entrepreneurship with ''captains of industry'' in the private marketplace. Governments are often viewed as stagnant bureaucracies that respond slowly, if at all, to new circumstances. The authors of this volume challenge these views with a combination of detailed case stud
