Local government, an institution close to the citizen, understands the need to adapt to new data much faster than any other level of administration, as well as the need to find solutions. The change in society inevitably involves the institution of local government and requires it to have a new role.

From the modified pages of this volume, it is evident that empirical actions and advocacy efforts of self-government are not enough. It is necessary for it to develop a comprehensive understanding of both its role and the structure, character, and contemporary problems faced by the institution, as well as its relationship with the State in all its manifestations.
