摘要

Results of innovative local government briefings between American public interest groups and their counterparts in the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand are reported. The project was designed to improve communications and strengthen institutional relations among the groups involved and to seek innovations which are potentially transferable to local governments in the U.S. The report is comprised of three major sections of management interest: Policy management is discussed in terms of the problems and features of local government management structures and practices; Resource management studies describe various management development programs that are being established as an integral part of local government associations' services; Program management studies detail specific innovative programs in ten areas including science and technology, alternative energy sources, and housing and social services. Lists of resources, references, and contacts are included.
