General note Summary: This is volume one of two separately bound volumes, it is devoted to the description and analysis of the provincial municipalities in the subnational governance of Afghanistan. Volume one has seven chapters, the first focuses on governance structures, and separate chapters examine in turn national governance, subnational governance, the constitutional and legal framework of municipalities, roles and authorities of municipalities, municipal fiscal management and inter-governmental relations which also includes a section on the relations of the municipatlities with informal tradition-based structures and civil society. Part two of this volume examines issues in municipal management in some detail. Two appendices follow, on on “Obligations and powers” of municipalities and the Ministry of Finance’s municipality chart of accounts. Finally a bibliography lists web sites and documents that proved particularly useful in developing this work. The discussion in this volume is applicable to and valid for Afghanistan’s provincial municipalities in general, even though many of the exemplifications presented are drawn from the municipalities covered by the Afghanistan Municipal Strengthening Project (AMSP). Volume two of the handbook will offer select reference material, primary sources drawn from the publications of the Afghan state and governments, they have been selected for their value in illuminating the subjects and topics covered in the first volume.
