Abstract

[This chapter introduces the whole volume by citing the context, background of the book, framework of analysis and significance. In the context of the recent debates on the appropriate form of government for the Philippines, the book and its chapters examine central-local relations and decentralization in the country, the 1991 Local Government Code and continuing challenges, and various policy proposals, including a full shift to a federal form of government using various themes, namely social services delivery, urban development, and financing local governance. These themes are contextualized in Metro Manila or the National Capital Region with the major question of how the main metropolis and its component local governments can further promote responsible local governance, decentralization, and equitable development. The main framework of analysis is governance and the various models of governance that can help Metro Manila achieve responsible local governance. A strength of this volume is that many chapters have been written by scholars from various disciplines, adding a multidisciplinary approach to the topic.]
