Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the interplay between public finance and fiscal resilience in the context of rapidly changing global and domestic challenges. The economic and social pressures of the 21st century—including financial crises, pandemics, geopolitical uncertainties, and persistent inflation—have reshaped the toolbox of fiscal policy and public financial management. Alongside macroeconomic stability and the sustainability of central government budgets, particular attention is devoted to the financial resilience of local governments.
The taxation and revenue systems of municipalities play a decisive role in ensuring the quality of public services and in mitigating regional inequalities. For this Special Issue, we welcome studies investigating the role of local taxation policies in strengthening fiscal resilience, as well as analyses of the interconnections between macro-level fiscal strategies and subnational revenue capacities.
Our objective is to present a multidisciplinary perspective—combining economics, public finance, public administration, and regional studies—to demonstrate how national and local governments can adapt to emerging challenges and create fiscally sustainable systems in the long run.
