“…The first studies were inspired by public choice theory. According to this theory, monopolization of services will result in overproduction and inefficiencies, whereas contracting out will lead to lower spending (Boyne 1998). There has been some empirical evidence for these hypotheses; for example, for Italian local utilities where (partial) privatization has been shown to (significantly) decrease total costs (Garrone et al 2013).…”

“…(9) Sobre este extremo puede consultarse Boyne (1998) Si bien el tamaño municipal (11) constituye un indicador indirecto de la capacidad de la administración local, la riqueza o posición de mercado del municipio (12), podría ser también un factor con capacidad para explicar diferencias en el modelo de desarrollo urbano, pues se considera que municipios caracterizados por un mayor desarrollo económico centrarían sus esfuerzos en promover dicho desarrollo, mientras que municipios con menor renta atenderían al bienestar social de la ciudadanía.…”

ResumenEn el marco de las iniciativas urbanas europeas, los gobiernos locales afrontan nuevos retos relacionados con la regeneración de sus ciudades. En este contexto cobra especial relevancia la implantación del Modelo de Desarrollo Urbano Integral, que se propone como un modelo de políticas de desarrollo urbano caracterizadas por su diversidad en cuanto a ámbitos de política pública implicados. Dicho modelo, además, incorpora una serie de propuestas relacionadas con la gestión innovadora de las iniciativas implementadas. Asimismo, las recientes transformaciones en el Estado del Bienestar se reflejan especialmente en el ámbito local, tanto en el contenido de las políticas, como en la forma de implementarlas. Ello ha dado lugar a modelos de prestación de servicios propios o característicos del ámbito local, conocidos como Sistemas Locales de Bienestar. Este trabajo analiza la medida en que los municipios españoles participantes en el programa URBANA (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013) ponen en práctica el Modelo de Desarrollo Urbano Integral al implementar sus políticas de regeneración urbana, así como la medida en la que promueven Sistemas Locales de Bienestar. AbstractIn the framework of the European initiatives aimed at urban areas, local governments are facing new challenges related to the regeneration of their cities, both from the physical realm and from the economic and social. In this context it becomes relevant the implementation model of integrated urban development understanding therefore, the integral character in terms of public policy areas involved, promoting not only regeneration of the physical space or the economic development, but also the welfare and the social integration of citizens who inhabit the territories over which it acts. This model also incorporates a series of proposals related to innovative initiatives management. At the same time, transformations in the Welfare State are reflected specially at the local level, both on the contents of policies and how implement them. This is known as Local Welfare Systems. This paper analyzes the extent in which the Spanish municipalities involved in URBANA (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013) put into practice the Integrated Urban Development Model to implement its policies of urban regeneration,

“…Esta pesquisa apresenta esses argumentos por causa de sua longevidade, embora note que essa perspectiva é desafiada (BOZEMAN, 2007) e que as provas sobre o impacto da privatização e contratação são fracas (BOYNE, 1998;HODGE, 2000;LELAND & SMIRNOVA, 2009). …”
