Understood as forms of democratic organization of the State at the social, cultural, administrative and financial level, administrative decentralization and local autonomy must promote and articulate the relation between state, society and economy. In this space of networking and concerted action between different actors, citizen engagement, transparency, subsidiarity and other European values must be convergent. Within this work, the authors wanted to perform an interdisciplinary study from the perspective of grounding the framework for elaborating the local public policies, by means of thoroughly analyzing the problematic afferent to the specific elements of this framework: organizational and institutional factors, actors' play and the "products" of the public policy etc. The book is addressing to academics, practitioners and students who wants to develop their knowledge regarding the issue of how using original methods and models for the analysis of local public policies, already experimented at the level of the collectivities in other European states.
