Abstract

Este trabajo pretende contribuir a la comprensión de las pautas de producción y de gobernanza de los servicios públicos locales. La cuestión central es que algunos de estos servicios están caracterizados por economías de escala, de densidad o de alcance. Esto provoca que los límites de jurisdicción de los gobiernos municipales sean en algunos casos más reducidos de lo que aconsejaría la escala óptima de producción. De ahí emerge una cuestión muy relevante: ¿Cómo deben organizar los gobiernos locales la provisión de esos servicios de forma que puedan aprovechar las ganancias de escala y, a la vez, mantener un grado suficiente de control sobre los servicios, de forma que las autoridades locales puedan ser reactivas a las presiones de los ciudadanos para proporcionar una calidad adecuada?
