Summary/Abstract: The values of local government are based on the system of government that developed after Estonia’s first independence in 1918, and most of them were rediscovered and reestablished (along with legal principles) on the eve of the post-communist transition. The reform of local government (LG) in Estonia began when some radical politicians declared their vision of Estonia as a fully independent state. On 8 August 1989, the Supreme Council adopted the Local Government Reform Act, and on 10 November, the new Local Government Act was adopted. This was the first step that challenged the old regime and promoted the development of democratic institutions in Estonia.
