Polycentric Incorporation of Localities in Metropolitan Area (Notes on Theories)

In the field of Public Administration, the issue of Polycentric Incorporation of Localities in Metropolitan Areas (PILMA) has long been a significant object of study. That the issue is politically impractical to deal with is today's well-known assessment of it both for the scholars and practitioners. This theoretical notes constitutes an initial plan for examining an intellectual state of affairs surrounding PILMA. It identifies three theoretical problems inherent in the traditional treatment of the issue: Applicative Scope of Market Type Solution; Negative Externality and Preference Revelation; Determination of Production Scale. Notes were composed based on the proposition that the traditional theoretical formulation has not been so much well constructed as to draw more attention and debate on the PILMA.
