The Sources of Financing Local Government in Poland and Russia. Comparative Analysis

The issue of ensuring that local self-government units have their own robust revenue sources, which empower them to fund their designated responsibilities, consistently sparks intense debate. This monograph offers a crucial addition to the publishing landscape, filling a notable gap, as there has not been a comprehensive comparative legal analysis available on the financing sources for local governments in Poland and Russia until now. The book adopts a systematic approach to tackle this subject.In several respects, the book is both intriguing and forward-thinking. According to Professor J. Glumihsko-Powlic's review, the standout feature of this monograph is its application of comparative legal methodology in its research. This method, combined with traditional historical, normative, and sociological perspectives on law, provides a novel lens through which familiar legal science issues can be examined, considering the current trends in legal development globally. Professor A.G. Paul's review also highlights these aspects, emphasizing the innovative viewpoint this work brings to established legal challenges.
