AB - The aim of this paper is to compare the processes of local government tier-system change in the UK, Canada and New Zealand, to identify what actually contributed to successful implementation of the policy, and to put forward some policy implications for Korea to be able to effectively introduce unitary authority system into Korean public sector. In doing so, it primarily focuses on the creation of the unitary local authorities which took place in three countries It was found that there was considerable opposition initially to the establishment of unitary local authorities by local politicians and the citizenry at large. Despite the opposition, the unitary local authorities were created in three countries, and they seem to be now in process of expanding such system into other areas in their countries. The paper demonstrates that the Government's strong intention to institutionalise the unitary authority system, objective assessment of the costs and benefits associated with its introduction and the proactive roles of local media were essential in putting the system in place.
