Abstracts

The article deals with areas of decision-making in local governments in the Czech Republic. It is specifically focused on proposing the agenda and decision-making mechanism. It asks the question of who comes up with an investment impulse, whether work meetings about investments are held before council meetings, and whether the size of the municipality is a determinant for an own decision-making mechanism. It turns out that the main actors in deciding on the key issues of municipalities are mayors. Their role is particularly important in smaller municipalities, while in big cities the range of actors involved in decision-making mechanisms is broader. Despite the fact that the management system of the local governments of Czech municipalities tends to be understood as collective, this may in practice not necessarily apply to small municipalities.
