The term “intergovernmental
relations” refers to the way in which the different spheres of a government
hierarchy relate to each other. This concept is of vital importance where there
is a division of power at both administrative and legal levels among different
spheres of government.
Intergovernmental relations
in South Africa examines the South African
government’s quest to enhance effective and efficient service delivery to the
people. Case studies are included in all chapters to provide a hands-on approach
to relate theory to practice.
This book discusses four distinct
approaches to the subject: the constitutional/legal approach, the democratic
approach, the financial approach and the normative/operational approach. It
culminates in a delineation of practical steps for the promotion of well
grounded intergovernmental relations, sustainable capacity building and
trustworthy political accountability. The book also focuses on intergovernmental
relations network and cooperative governance in South Africa as well as
governmental relations in the BRICS countries.
Intergovernmental relations in
South Africa is suitable not only for academics
but also for practitioners in the fields of public administration and management, political
sciences, social sciences, law and other related disciplines.
