[open-government] Invitation for a new research and being open to be a participant of new researches

[abdullah a öztoprak]

 Hi,

Your valuable contributions are welcome.

I plan make a comparative research to compare "the regulations on
local government transparency in different countries"

In Turkey, Municipal Law and Freedom of Information Law, Public
Procurement Law regulate the transparency mechanism of local
governments. Turkey is a country that most of the population (~85%)
lives in municipal areas.
With the amendment of the Metropolitan Municipal Law, 30 Metropolitan
Municipalities started to become responsible for the whole provinces
not only the cities.

What do you think about the next country? can it be Hungary? In case,
would you explain why should we compare these two countries?

It may be a good kind of topic, I we can go further.

Kind regards,
abdullah
