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 and increase its importance.
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.
