Local Governments Program
Department Introduction
Local government institutions are of great importance in the efficient,
effective and productive execution of public services. In order to increase the
quality of service delivery by Local Governments, a number of reforms are being
carried out both in our country and in other countries. With globalization, the
changing relations between the local and the center and the ongoing regulations
in the legal infrastructure keep the subject of Local Governments up to date

In the light of all these developments, Local Government
departments/programs in universities are very important in meeting the
increasing need for qualified personnel in such institutions.
