Abstract

The authors chart the rise of horizontal cooperation between local authorities in the wider Europe as a post-war phenomenon, examining the main forms of cooperation in this area, how they have developed and what impact they have had and are having on the development of decentralised government in Europe. They then map out the main characteristics of the development of a European model of local democracy. Attention is given to the principal standards in this field and how they are evolving, with special emphasis on the European Charter of Local Self-Government.
