Taking into account the complex territorial organization of the state and analyzing the current political-administrative framework, it is increasingly necessary to find mechanisms for intergovernmental and administrative relations that allow us to respond to the needs of citizens with greater dynamism. The traditional "subjective" analysis, in which each municipality represents a unit that manages the common good in a grouped manner, has been left behind and new "functional" formulas are imposed, in which these municipalities no longer work in isolation, but in relation to others based on criteria of necessity and opportunity. Moreover, this intermunicipal cooperation can take place in a variety of forms, types and legal regulations. The chapter analyzes its viability in light of the major systemic challenges that occur at this level of government, such as the hyperfragmentation and dispersion of local government, the chronic insufficiency of local entities to ensure the provision of their public services after multiple legal reforms, and the social commitments that are established in a context of multilevel governance. It lists some of the political challenges posed by inter-municipal cooperation formulas such as the opacity of their structures, the dilution of political responsibility for the management of public services or the lack of direct democratic legitimacy, among others. The chapter ends with some recommendations on how these relations can be addressed from our institutional framework, with special reference to the geographical and demographic problems derived from the configuration of the Spanish local structure. application/pdf eng Springer Local Governance in Spain. p. 101-125 https://doi.org/ 10.1007/978-3-031-14804-0_5 Cooperation Collaboration Local government Governance Governmental relations Interadministrative relations Municipality Reform County Política España-Política y gobierno España-Administración pública Political science Spain-Politics and government Spain-Public administration Intermunicipal Cooperation info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 101 125 THUMBNAIL Méndez-intermunicipal_cooperation_2022.pdf.jpg Méndez-intermunicipal_cooperation_2022.pdf.jpg IM Thumbnail image/jpeg 4430 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/10351/3/M%c3%a9ndez-intermunicipal_cooperation_2022.pdf.jpg 2c9161a3309784930d098b8035b29c05 MD5 3 LICENSE license.txt license.txt text/plain; charset=utf-8 1362 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/10351/2/license.txt 5d013bfa6e473ff0db22cd82a4d71a70 MD5 2 ORIGINAL Méndez-intermunicipal_cooperation_2022.pdf Méndez-intermunicipal_cooperation_2022.pdf application/pdf 311758 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/10351/1/M%c3%a9ndez-intermunicipal_cooperation_2022.pdf f6463f94ade8b0b9ad4da14d80122ba4 MD5 1 10259/10351 oai:riubu.ubu.es:10259/10351 2025-03-20 02:05:28.248 Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos bubrep@ubu.es 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
