This book is a management tool for those involved in decentralisation and territorial development, in particular the local executive and its deliberative body. As a key player, mayor or chairman of a departmental council, it is important to have decision-making tools at your disposal. The Guide takes a pedagogical approach, and is presented in the form of fact sheets with precise objectives on central themes that address the concerns of local elected representatives. Exercises and case studies enable local councillors to experience real-life situations. Bibliographical references and legislative and regulatory texts are also provided to support the proposals and share knowledge.
