The impacts of globalization on local governance are profound, as interconnected economies challenge traditional policy frameworks. Local governments may find themselves adapting to international agreements and global market pressures, which can sometimes undermine local priorities. This can lead to a homogenization of policies and practices that prioritize economic growth over community needs. Conversely, globalization can also offer opportunities for local innovation, as communities adapt to new economic realities. Ultimately, navigating these global influences is crucial for effective local governance and community resilience.
