  • David Špaček

摘要

Drawing on a systematic literature review, this chapter assesses how decentralisation and local government fragmentation affect crisis management. It identifies intra-organisational and external factors influencing municipal resilience, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic and financial crises. The review highlights the benefits of local proximity and autonomy but also notes coordination and resource limitations. Special focus is given to highly fragmented EU countries.
