inter-municipal / supra-municipal project/plan Explanation: The vast majority of Spanish municipalities are very small. Recently, some Autonomous Communities have been establishing **supra-municipal** or district authorities (Comarcas), grouping several municipalities in order to manage the delivery of common local services. Public-private partnership initiatives were introduced into Spain by the Municipal Services Act of 1955, which allows the provision of local services by private operators. http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPag... A popular coping strategy is **inter-municipal **cooperation, a phenomenon that, despite its ubiquity, has not been subject to systematic comparative research. This book presents an overview of inter-municipal cooperation in eight European countries.

The last chapter of the book presents a comparative analysis and reflects on the future of inter-municipal cooperation. http://www.books.co.uk/rudie_hulst_andre_van_montfort/interm... |
