About This Novel
This volume is "The Process of European Civilization·Local Self-Government Volume", which mainly examines the development and characteristics of the local self-government system and its role in the development of civilization in Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern political and social process. In different historical periods, the relationship between central and local governments in major European countries has shown its own content and characteristics, which are closely related to factors such as historical traditions, feudal systems, nation-states, industrialization and democratization, and the formation of welfare states. On the basis of each having its own characteristics, the central-local relations in major European countries also show some commonalities, reflecting the general laws of the development of European civilization. We roughly divide it into three stages: the first stage is the central and local relations in the feudal era; the second stage is the central and local relations in the nation-state period; and the third stage is the relationship between the central and local governments since the 19th century. This division is based on different stages of European historical development and has a certain degree of ambiguity and extensibility. This division helps readers understand the characteristics of the relationship between the central and local governments during the development of European civilization. In essence, this relationship also embodies the connotation of European civilization. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that European countries have successful experiences and practical lessons in governance, which we need to understand objectively and comprehensively.
