Abstract

This study is part of Phd thesis about the effects of the complexity of the institutional framework on the operation of the local governance in Greece and it will compare the responsibilities of local government in Greece and Spain. More specifically, the different levels of local government will be compared, with a greater focus on the municipalities, in order to capture the differences and similarities that exist between the two countries. In addition, the research will examine the degree of complexity of responsibilities as well as the areas in which they extend. Based on the legislative and institutional framework of both countries, responsibilities will be compared in areas such as local development, social policy, education, etc. The content of local government is the administration of local affairs according to the needs of local communities, in these article we study the way this local government designs its structure and way of working for this purpose.
