本文讨论了城市领导在当前多层次治理环境中的作用,并为理解城市领导的主要要素提供了一个概念框架。政治,管理和公民领导的形式已被区分在城市领导和主要演员,结构,流程和追随者模式进行检查,使用意大利和英国作为比较的起点。这一比较框架揭示了意大利和英国城市领导模式的一些共同和不同特征,如公共服务提供的跨部门和多层次的行政环境;加强政治领导的行政方面而不是代表方面的共同趋势;各种形式的公民领导作为创造公共和社会价值以及加强领土复原力的触发因素的相关性日益增加。主要的区别在于中央政府在界定城市领导人的作用方面所起的作用,意大利似乎正经历着向更大的中央集权和控制的回归,而联合王国正在经历着向地方社区赋权的相反趋势。最后,本文提出了一些未来的方向,我们正在寻求追求的城市领导力的研究议程。
This paper discusses the role of city leadership in the current multilevel governance settings and provides a conceptual framework for understanding the main elements of city leadership. Forms of political, managerial and civic leadership have been distinguished within city leadership and the main actors, structures, processes and followership patterns are examined using Italy and the UK as starting points of comparison. This comparative framework sheds a light on some common and different features in the city leadership patterns in Italy and the UK, such as the cross-cutting and multilayered administrative context for public service delivery; the common trend towards strengthening the executive side of political leadership rather than the representative one; the growing relevance of forms of civic leadership as a trigger for creating public and social value and for enhancing the resilience of the territories. Main differences deal instead with the role of central government in defining the role of city leaders, where Italy seems to experience a return towards greater centralization and controls, and the UK is experiencing an opposite trend towards the empowerment of local communities. Finally, the paper sets out some future directions for the research agenda on city leadership we are seeking to pursue.
