International Workshop on Good Local Government: First annual proceedings : held in Austin, Texas, July 1994

by Robert Hine Wilson, Reid Cramer

This report is the first in a series of publications that summarizes the proceedings of the three-year International Workshop on Good Local Government, sponsored by the Ford Foundation. When representatives from eight countries met in Austin, Texas, in July 1994, participants shared their experiences and perspectives on the issues involved in good local government and established some theoretical ground to form the basis for this first report. Drawing on case studies from each of the eight countries-Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Senegal, and the United States-the workshop discussed how good local government practices should be defined and what characterizes exemplary practices.
