Aspekty is intended to be a forum for information sharing and discussion 
about local government in Ukraine, and a resource for policy-makers and 
practitioners. The journal is distributed to about 4000 concerned 
individuals and organizations in Ukraine, and typically includes articles 
by mayors, government practitioners, academics, and other observers of 
local government in Ukraine, Poland, the United States, and other 
countries. Themes include world practices in local government, changes in 
legislation or reforms, and the perspectives of key players in local 
government in Ukraine and abroad. The journal also includes case studies on 
communities that have employed innovative practices and improved local 
government transparency, efficiency, responsiveness, or effectiveness.
Aspekty Samovriaduvannia is published as part of the USAID-funded Community 
Partnership Project for Local Government Training and Education (CPP). For

and democratic reforms in Ukraine.
