LocGov Research Network
Embedded Files
Since the late 1990s, the LocGov Research Network has produced some of the most comprehensive comparative data on local elected officials and administrators in Europe. The network connects researchers from across the continent, combining survey research, comparative country studies, and joint publications. Current projects include a new survey of mayors (Mayors III) and a study on the professionalisation and politicisation of local government (PROFLOC).
