Book synopsis

This book strongly suggests that the management of §intergovernmental relations (IGR) in the governance §of any state does present opportunities for §improving government service delivery. Two §countries with different governance systems, namely, §Nigeria(a federal state) and South Africa(a unitary §state), provide the context of the case studies. The §author identified and analysed four IGR cases in §each country. In the case analysis, due §consideration was given to the historical and socio-§political context of the selected countries, the §structures, the facilitative role of IGR in §development as well as in current delivery §imperatives. The book reveals a range of IGR §complexities around the management of structures, §the inevitability of overlaps, and the need to §strike a balance between independence and the §alignment of roles amongst government units. From §the analysis, critical elements needed for §successful IGR management in both unitary and §federalist systems are identified and linked to the §principles of Public Administration.
