Local Governments Connecting to the Global Economy: Globalization as Catalyst in Governance of East African Cities

Eric Otenyo ()

Public Organization Review, 2005, vol. 4, issue 4, 339-360

Abstract: This article responds to two questions: first, how are large local governments in East Africa responding to the emerging global economy? Second, is globalization a catalyst in enhancing local governance in Nairobi, Kampala, and Dar es Salaam? The paper is an empirical analysis of strategies adopted by local government organizations in search of meeting challenges brought by a globalization. While there are some similarities in the strategies and processes adopted, the implementation pace varies across the three organizations. At the end, an attempt is made to explain these differences.
