Globalizacja a europejski samorząd terytorialny
Globalization and the European local government

Summary/Abstract: Globalization processes, primarily of an economic and cultural nature, particularly intensified at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries exerting considerable influence on the operations of democratic states, including local governments, which was the outcome of dynamic changes in their environments. The collapse of the caring state model has posed new challenges to local governments in Europe. In practice, it meant the implementation of reforms aimed at the devolution of the state along the axis of the empowerment of local communities. The primary outcome of globalization in the area of European local government involves reformed spatial structure, institutional changes and searching for adequate management systems for public administration,taking the form of two processes, namely the commercialization of public activities and seeking to socialize this type of activity.
