“…Also in Italy examples of formalised cooperation have greatly multiplied over the last dozen or so years (Bolgherini 2011;Rija, Tenuta 2011;Sorrentino, Simonetta 2013;Labianca 2014). The situation is similar in the Netherlands (Hulst, van Montfort 2007b). One can therefore state that in some European Union states the proportion of common activities of local governments is fairly large.…”

Kołsut B., 2016. Inter-municipal cooperation in waste management: The case of Poland. Quaestiones Geographicae 35(2), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 91-104, 3 tables, 5 figs.aBstract: This article seeks to present the scale of inter-municipal cooperation in waste management in Poland in the light of the role of three key factors of cooperation. The first shows spatial regularities in the distribution of inter-municipal bodies involved in waste management in Poland, both in the system of voivodeships and historical-cultural regions. The second is institutional conditions confirming the scale of the Europeanisation of public policies taking place in Poland. It embraces the implementation of the EU legal framework in the Polish legal system and the cooperative behaviour of municipalities as a result of those changes. The third is a negative verification of the assumptions of the economic theory upholding the role of financial motivation in establishing cooperation (looking for savings and economies of scale to reduce unit cost); the presented results do not corroborate this type of motivation.

Comparative research on inter-municipal cooperation in eight European countries shows that there is a great variety of institutional arrangements for cooperation across the different countries. Also, these arrangements tend to change over time in terms of the scope of cooperation among partners, their composition and the degree of organizational integration. This article describes and analyzes the variety of and shifts in institutional arrangements for a specific class of inter-municipal cooperation arrangements: those that are set up to provide for the joint delivery of public services. It is argued that specific arrangements are typically the outcomes of interaction between national institutional contexts,environmental factors and local preferences.
