Will Broken Capillaries Fade

Local governance development

development projects and reforms for the transformation, always modified gestated by the dynamics of the actors (Giddens, 1984; Clegg, 1990). The costs and benefits of economic reform and social policy can be shared by different agents within institutional frameworks that facilitate participation. Economic reform is the political system reforms, the development of political institutions and government reform. The participation of citizens in governance is one of the objectives of democratic governance processes. For partnership and participation as a democratic instrument purchase value must be accompanied by freedom of expression.
Organizational Flexibility is manifested in the lowering of production and storage systems together with the perspective of transaction costs enable organizations to become more flexible through vertical and horizontal disintegration. The friction of distance is increased in importance by providing a strong incentive for geographic agglomerations (Appelbaum and Henderson, 1995) This flexibility is expressed in structures that facilitate the inter-networks that have developed in different spatial levels: local, national, regional and global levels, giving rise to the emergence of a networking society supported by information technology. The training and integration Network system of direct participation in local governance can Reinventing geopolitical space and give local governments the skills required to meet the challenges of globalization. It
more talk of transforming the nation-state functions that his imminent removal. However, transformations and mutations of the nation state are not always following the same direction. It is no longer the nation-state modeled as an actor that has coherence and its own destiny within a hierarchy of international power and as a result of a rationality of interests. The political space and the nation-state depends not identified exercise of sovereignty over a territory delimited. The territory is being redefined to focus more on local governance under a new local territorial structure.
What the reform of the state is doing is transferring responsibility for managing and resolving social conflicts to local governments, which is conditional on the local social structure. The instrument of government reform and modernization policy is the decentralization of political power from the central authorities to local bodies. For state reform will focus on a redefinition of relations between society, the market and state, decentralization requires para lograr una gestión pública más eficiente.
La construcción territorial del espacio de las decisiones públicas de abajo hacia arriba, que privilegia con una mayor autonomía al gobierno local, debe considerar la corresponsabilidad de competencias en la gestión pública. El desarrollo local es un proceso orientado por estrategias y políticas que articula esfuerzos y recursos de agentes económicos y actores políticos con capacidad de acción territorial para lograr objetivos de crecimiento económico, desarrollo social y mayores niveles de bienestar de la población. Son actores y agentes todos los que toman decisiones que afectan al territorio (Marsiglia y Pintos, 2001). Por lo tanto, no existe a unique model of local development but other proposed projects.
Actors are people and institutions that develop direct action in a territory, as well as the "structures, organizations and people that the task or action have a place and a role in the workings of local exchanges (Cachon, 1996 .) Taking into consideration that the local term is associated both with defined physical territory, as a group moving in a mobile, go Helmerick (2001) defines a town or a localized system as a set of interacting elements dynamic, located within the boundaries of a particular physical space, organized according to an end. "A redefinition of the territory is the basis for the new geopolitical space required by the new local governance to involve different actors and stakeholders in promoting the development of society.
These elements refers to people who usually live and economic units established in the territory. Marsiglia and Pinto (2001) conceptualized the local area / regional as "an economic dimension, a dimension and historical identity, a community of interests and as space with a local potential to enhance development. Reinventing local government geopolitical space implies a new territorial structure in which the municipal governance is manifested as the setting in which different actors and agents interact in joint collaborative projects to solve their own problemas.LA creation of a democratic system in the field of local government and municipal allow the close involvement of citizens in governance issues and is designed to build community identity. Reinventing local government policy is expressed in spatial strengthening the powers of the municipality's development. The three most important relationships in the reform of state regulation are those those between private operators and government relations monitoring and oversight that exist between politicians and bureaucrats and the relations of responsibility and accountability (accountability) that occur between citizens and politicians.
Evidence suggests that the positive connection between growth and incomes of the poor have not changed much during the period of globalization, as above. The analysis of poverty and inequality variables to social spending in Latin America, show a negative correlation and a low efficiency of public administration in the social area over the past two decades, since priority has been given macroeconomic balance.
This public management, said of Molina (2001) should rest on five variables that explores the challenges following a citizen participation and decentralization, effective citizenship, local economic development, territorial management, information society and development sustainable. However, this social spending in Latin America rose almost 25% during the decade, but the returns on investment are very low, due to various factors such as corruption.
Local government is increasingly involved in a strong and persistent attachment to the concept of self-sufficiency and autonomy. The local government has been relegated to a decentralization policy that limits the government reform and to be executors of policies and decisions made at other levels of central Florida. The reconstruction that privileges the territorial local government in the independent determination of areas of public decision from the bottom up, has to promote stewardship of public management skills at different levels of government and agreement of joint development projects between public and private sectors. This among most of the leaders of the groups represented on the boards (Leach et al, 1994), although not all decisions can be decentralized to the local power bodies.
political participation of citizens in local government should not be limited exclusively to the election of representatives. Can assume responsibility for the institutionalization of social policy and public services that are less centralized. Can participate in local governance decisions, such as public spending and investment, as well as fundraising and revenue budget.
To overcome some of these problems, a new territorialization is desirable in order that by forming partnerships to pool resources and efforts of several municipalities are drawn up specific proposals for development through the creation of support tools for municipal management according to regional development. Local governance requires a delimitation of the territorial structure to take advantage of the negotiations and strategies of the association.
These new forms of association of municipalities for the production and delivery of public services, cut across the political divide itself in having joint solutions to similar problems more effectively and by creating economies of scale, given the space constraints of capabilities and resources. Municipalities guide its economic development depending on market strategies, so that the satisfaction of the requirements and demands of economic agents aims to increase competitiveness.
administrative decentralization in the administrative management of regional policy decisions involving adoption at local levels lower. Local governance requires a new design and a new territorial structure reengineering to take advantage of local social participation. Participation in the administration extends to political and social organizations.
Citizen participation in the decentralization process policy are very limited. Political decentralization allows local governments to encourage citizen participation for better redistributive, more equitable, more differentiation and efficiency in the provision of public goods and services. Citizen participation should be encouraged by local governments in governance processes, such as budgetary decisions on expenditures and revenues, especially in decisions that affect the efficient use of their own resources and the provision of public goods and services .
A successful decentralization policy must create structures of regional self-government while allowing the development of social actors able to self-administer and develop an identity, which implies the need to "build" the region in social terms (Boisier, 1987: 143; Schönwälder, 1997:763). The lack of flexibility of the nation state to react to rapid changes in economic globalization and the inertia of heavy structures that do not meet the current demands of citizenship is necessary to strengthen the regions.
The region is generally defined as "an area of \u200b\u200bland on which it can identify a distinct unit of human problems and physical characteristics with a strong tendency towards such unification. Is, with the predominance certain common as well as additional factors that create a kind of identity "following Boisier (1988). A new delimitation of territorial local government is a requirement to promote public management aimed at achieving social participation of key actors and agents in the direct solution of their problems.
