Lima, Peru, has no city government, the central city being divided into several municipalities including a portion governed by Lima Province. Similarly, Valencia, Venezuela is largely governed by a variety of central government agencies over which the local authority exercises limited influence. In contrast, Zagreb, Yugoslavia has a metropolitan area government which can vote its own budgets, pass laws and establish agencies without central control. In Calcutta, India, the chief executive is appointed by the state government, but locally elected councillors have considerable voice in a variety of administrative matters and personnel appointments, decisions in Calcutta reflecting these two apparently evenly balanced actors. In Lodz, Poland, however, local decisions are largely made in central departments and in conflicts between the local council and ministerial orders, the latter tend to dominate. These are all examples of city or metropolitan governmental patterns and they and their counterparts are part of the subject matter of the study of comparative urban politics. Yet it is not clear what each of these governmental patterns and the political behaviour associated with them have in common
