María Cadaval participates in the Forum “Territories that Lead: The Future Begins Locally”

Professor María Cadaval participated in the Forum “Territories that Lead: The Future Begins Locally”, held at the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences of the USC on 5–6 October.

As part of the programme, María Cadaval took part in the round table “Governing from the Territories: Challenges”, held on Tuesday, 6 October, alongside Rubén Lois González and Ramón Bouzas, and moderated by José Caamaño. 

Her contribution focused on “The Financial Capacity and Sustainability of Local Governments”, exploring the challenges surrounding local governments’ financial resources and fiscal capacity, as well as the conditions needed to ensure their long-term sustainability. The discussion highlighted the growing role of local and regional governments in the provision of public services and in addressing today’s economic and social challenges, while examining the financial constraints that can shape their capacity to respond effectively.

The forum brought together academics, public representatives and experts to reflect on the role of territories and local governments in addressing current social, economic and institutional challenges. The programme included conferences and round tables on local democracy, public governance, territorial development, political participation and the future of municipalism in Galicia.

The event was organized by the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Santiago de Compostela, with the collaboration of the Provincial Council of A Coruña, under the theme “The future begins locally.”
