Abstract: This issue of the Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance arrives at a moment when local governments across the Commonwealth and beyond are being asked to do more: with greater integrity, responsiveness, and effectiveness, often amid constrained resources and contested authority. The papers gathered here reaffirm that ‘local’ is not peripheral: it is where citizens most directly experience the state, whether through service delivery, public finance, food security, environmental health, or representation and voice.
