Exploring Future Directions for Local Governments Following Local Election

This paper explores the potential circumstances in relation to the change of the relationships between central and local governments following the local election which took place in May 2006 and suggests some policy directions which local governments can take to minimize the political instability at local level. In doing this, this study attempts to clarify complicated political situations facing local governments, using system dynamics model and examines them from local political point of view. It concludes that the local election results may cause some political instability if the local governments can not effectively cope with the change of power relationship between the executive and councillors.
