Summary/Abstract: For many Estonians, as well as for international experts interested in the country, the name Sulev Mäeltsemees is practically synonymous with Local Self-Government in Estonia. This is his calling, his vocation and his life-career. He has seen the Estonian city through the last years of Soviet rule, and he re-established the concept of Municipal Autonomy after the regaining of Estonian independence. Literally so: The respective provisions in the Constitution were authored by him. Between 1990 and 1993, he was Chairman of the Expert Committee for Administrative Reform of the Presidium of the Supreme Council (since 1992 Government) of the Republic of Estonia, and in 1992-1993 expert for Local Self-Government to the Constitutional Assembly
