Focusing on inter-local collaboration, the book explores why Canadian municipalities are increasingly cooperating in service delivery, particularly in areas like emergency and administrative services. It addresses key questions regarding the motivations for cooperation, the types of services shared or contracted, and the factors influencing the success of these partnerships. Through extensive research, including surveys and interviews with local decision-makers, the author highlights the significance of these relationships for the future of local governance in Canada.
