The use of the term “local government network” has become generalised in recent years, regardless of operating model, institutional framework or organisational structure. It has become a common term for referring to the work spaces formed by local governments, whether for political influence, learning or the development of technical projects. And it is to this broad (non-scientific) sense that I will refer in this article when speaking of local government networks, which are present at all levels: regional, state and international.
