Abstract

This study offers a thorough summary of the state of research in the area of local government finance by conducting a systematic literature review. Drawing on 25 years of pertinent publications in the subject of public budgeting and finance, the study addresses a variety of topics, such as capital budgeting, budgeting and budget reform, intergovernmental finance, financial management, and alternative service delivery. Scopus was used to gather the data, and 580 articles were deemed suitable for additional examination. The data were analyzed using Bibliometric approach. The analysis highlights China, the United States, and the United Kingdom as dominant contributors, with a strong focus on topics such as fiscal decentralization, local government finance, and governance efficiency. The author collaboration network reveals fragmented clusters, with limited interconnections among researchers, emphasizing the need for broader global and interdisciplinary collaborations. Additionally, the findings underscore the growing importance of emerging themes such as sustainability, digital governance, and AI-driven fiscal management, which remain underexplored. Geographical imbalances in research output further highlight the need for greater representation from underrepresented regions, including Africa, South America, and parts of Asia. Policymakers and practitioners who want to keep up with the most recent advancements and industry best practices in local government finance will also benefit from it.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive narrative review of multilateral governance and its role in conflict resolution, focusing on global and regional mechanisms of peacebuilding and security. The objective was to examine how international and regional organizations address complex security challenges and to identify the systemic barriers that constrain their effectiveness. A systematic methodology was applied, drawing on peer-reviewed studies retrieved primarily from Scopus and Web of Science using key terms such as "security governance," "conflict resolution," "multilateralism," "regional security," and "peacebuilding." Inclusion criteria emphasized peer-reviewed publications from the last decade, with a focus on empirical and applied analyses. The findings reveal that international organizations such as the United Nations and NATO provide essential but distinct approaches to peacekeeping, while regional bodies like the African Union, ASEAN, and IGAD offer contextualized frameworks rooted in local realities. Social and economic factors, including resource governance, trade interdependence, and civil society participation, significantly enhance legitimacy and sustainability. Technological innovation, particularly big data and artificial intelligence, presents promising tools for conflict prevention, yet disparities in access perpetuate inequalities. Systemic barriers such as political fragmentation, structural imbalances, and disinformation continue to undermine multilateral efforts. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adaptive governance, inclusivity, and hybrid frameworks that integrate international oversight with local participation. The study concludes that multilateral approaches remain indispensable for addressing global security challenges. Policies should prioritize institutional capacity-building, inclusive governance, and digital resilience, while future research should explore hybrid models and interdisciplinary perspectives to strengthen sustainable conflict resolution.
