O objetivo da pesquisa é demonstrar de que modo o artigo supramencionado deve ser aplicado, observando-se o princípio federalista, o sistema da repartição de competência, a autonomia atribuída ao ente municipal e o princípio da igualdade que deve orientar a unidade do Estado federal. Observa-se, assim, que o tema envolve a colisão entre princípios: federalista, autonomia municipal e o da igualdade. Portanto, é necessário ter uma noção de princípio, a sua concepção na sociedade contemporânea e a transição da concepção positivista para a pós-positivista no que se refere ao conceito de direito, que leva ao reconhecimento do caráter normativo dos princípios, sobretudo diante da nova perspectiva constitucionalista. Para tanto, é apresentada a teoria de Ronald Dworkin e a teoria dos princípios de Robert Alexy, e o método utilizado por este para solucionar a colisão entre princípios e o conflito entre regras. Vale ressaltar que a expressão “assunto de interesse local” prevista no artigo 30, inciso I, da Constituição gera controvérsias, inclusive no seio da Corte Suprema. O entendimento é de que deve ser excluída do alcance da competência privativa do Município as matérias de competência privativa da União com previsão no art. 22 e que a competência suplementar do Município deve complementar a legislação federal ou estadual no que couber. / Salvador

M.Com. (Business Management) / As a result of the cost of new infrastructure and the effect it has on tariff structures in developing areas, the term "cost recovery" tends to have a negative connotation. The fact of the matter is that the capital cost of creating infrastructural services, as well as the cost of operating them, must be recovered. There is no easy way to cut back on existing services and programmes, to charge user fees, or to raise taxes. Yet failure to devise a rational and effective way of investing in public works, as well as appropriate cost recovery mechanisms, will surely prevent any significant improvement in the standard of living, as well as in the local and national economy ...

Local Government in South Africa has undergone much transformation since the year 2000. Although much of the change has been to correct imbalances, inequities and disparities within our local communities as a result of apartheid, change has also been motivated by the National Government's realisation that, as with governments throughout the world, there is a need to modernise all spheres of Government. Part of this transformation process at the local government level in South Africa has been to ensure that municipalities become more responsive to the communities' needs. The guiding principles for this transformation are contained in the White Paper on the Transformation of the Public Service (1995) and the Batho Pele White Paper (1997). This has informed the Municipal Systems Act: Act 32 of 2000 of which Chapter 6 determines that municipalities will have a Performance Management System to promote a culture of Performance Management amongst the political structures, political office bearers, councillors and administration. The Performance Management System must ensure that the municipality administers its affairs in an economical, effective, efficient and accountable manner. A literature review contained in this research, indicates that nationally, ensuring effective and efficient Financial Management Systems at the local government level is impacted upon by a number of factors such as the organizational culture of an institution and its revenue base. This research ends with recommendations for further research and it is argued that each organization has its own unique organizational problems impacting on its financial status. The conclusion is that no single typology, as contained in the literature, can account for the specific impact financial viability has on service delivery and organizational existence at the local government level in South Africa. Consequently, implementers of the financial strategy and other financial management policies must assess the unique characteristics of each organization prior to implementation thereof, in order to evaluate its impact on the organizational culture and other variables. / Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2010
