Zusammenfassung:	Prelims -- Introduction: governments and crises -- Austria: Building capacities versus resting on laurels -- A tale of two jurisdictions: a focus on the effect of regulatory constraints on municipal resilience in Australia -- Financial resilience in Brazilian municipalities -- English resilience in the face of austerity -- Resilience patterns of French Municipalities: a case study -- A cushioned impact of the financial crisis: local government financial resilience in Germany -- Financial resilience of Greek local governments -- Patterns of financial resilience in Italian municipalities -- Financial resilience: how Dutch cities have buffered and adapted to the financial crisis -- Financial resilience: the Swedish case -- Financial resilience at the root of the crisis: Michigan, U.S. -- Conclusion -- Index This volume provides a unique insight into the ways local governments have maintained financial resilience in the face of the significant challenges posed by the era of austerity. Taking an international perspective, it provides an enlightening and practical analysis of the different capacities and responses that local governments deploy to cope with financial shocks. Moving beyond traditional approaches dealing with financial stress, the financial resilience perspective reveals a wider range of organisational responses and enables consideration of the dynamic role played by internal and external contextual factors. The international case study approach allows for a comparative analysis of financial resilience in the context of different administrative and policy environments. By providing a unifying view of financial resilience, the importance of building resilience into organisational financial management is demonstrated, uncovering the relative effectiveness of different resilience building approaches. This edited volume is a valuable source for practitioners and academics, as well as students of public policy, public management and financial management
