IJPSM:HOW FAR IS MUNICIPAL TRANSPARENCY FROM NEIGHBOURS? EVIDENCE FROM SPAIN AND PORTUGAL
- Share to:
Purpose – This manuscript studies municipal transparency in Iberian countries, Spain and Portugal, to
analyse similarities and differences in both countries. Despite some political-administrative similarities, the
way Spain and Portugal, deal with the issue of transparency may vary.
Design/methodology/approach – Based on the levels of municipal transparency, this work aims to analyse
how legal and institutional context and political factors framed the way municipalities are managing the
“naming and shaming” approach resulting from the creation of the Municipal Transparency Index.
A descriptive analysis of the levels of municipal transparency will be carried out and a multivariate analysis to
study the characteristics that may be determining differences and similarities between the two countries.
Findings – The study shows similarities in municipal transparency in Iberian countries, the positive effect of
the “naming and shaming” approach on transparency and the influence of legal and institutional factors in
transparency.
Originality/value – While there is extensive attention to municipal transparency at the country level, less
research focuses on comparing municipal transparency in countries that have similar political-administrative
characteristics. This study addresses this research gap by investigating two neighbouring countries.
