Summary/Abstract: In recent years, the inter-municipal cooperation has been steadily growing across all European countries, including the Czech Republic, because the inter-municipal cooperation has to face the historical fragmentation of the political and administrative system of local authorities. One of the key problems today is that the inter-municipal cooperation can take many different forms across countries and continents. This is why all the studies focused on the inter-municipal cooperation are so important. The following contribution deals with those problems related to the inter-municipal cooperation in the South Bohemian Region. The objective of this contribution is to determine those special characteristics of the local inter-municipal cooperation and compare the possibilities of further development of cooperation among municipalities in selected regions.
