From destruction to democratic revival : local government in Estonia / Liia Laanes.

• Local government and decentralisation -- Analytical framework and methodology -- Local government in 1918-1940 : the periods of the parliamentary republic and the era of silence -- Local autonomy -- Abolishment of local self-government -- Democratic revival at the local level -- History rhymes -- Conclusions and recommendations.

• This study provides a comparative perspective of Estonian local government during the two periods of national independence (1918-1940 and since 1991). The author applies a historical institutionalist approach in her research and focuses on county government, the institution of the mayor, and electoral rules. The research delves into how the legacies of the interwar period have shaped institutional choices during the post-communist period, with the conclusion that both interwar and communist legacies can explain some of these choices during the 1990s. --
