Summary:The aim of this article is to analyse the functions of the new local government to give response to social demands, promote development and regulate public services. From a defi nition of the concepts of sovereignty and autonomy of the new local government, it reconfi gures a new governance structure of local governments that implies more citizen participation in the decision-making processes and the formulation of public policies, by facilitating processes of decentralisation of functions, and mechanisms for coordinating public services.
