Prof De Visser discusses South Africa's system of provinces and municipalities at EURAC
The director of the Dullah Omar Institute, Prof Jaap de Visser gave an enlightening seminar on Multilevel government in South Africa. This took place at EURAC in Italy, where he is guest researcher for the month of July.
He discussed South Africa's system of provinces and municipalities and updated the researchers at EURAC about the upcoming local government elections. Given the Institute's location in Bolzano, part of an autonomous region in Italy and its work on federalism worldwide, there was great interest among the EURAC scholars in South Africa's system of provincial and local government. The meeting was convened by Prof Francesco Palermo, Head of the Institute for Federal and Regional Studies at EURAC.
