The competitions for the municipal head positions in the Perm region: effects of procedural rules
Keywords:
procedural rules, competition for the election of the head, local government, institutional choice, institutional effectsAbstract
Although Perm regional authorities have introduced a «competitive model» of recruiting municipal heads in all municipal units of the region, the procedure for the contest remains under the control of local self-government bodies. Procedural rules, however, have definite political consequences, and political actors tend to promote their preferences concerning the rules of the contest. Based on compara-tive analysis, the paper examines the cases of the deviation of municipalities from «standard procedures», their causes and effects.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2218-1067-2017-4-169-183References
