Political Leadership. Historically, the local elected official acted as an administrator and deliverer of basic constituent services. Localities, and their representatives, were responsible for administering social services, managing infrastructure and maintenance in roads, borough-­‐owned buildings and bridges, managing utilities, and collaborating with national government on delivery of services, such as education and health care. The role of the local elected official was primarily transactional and focused on constituent service and administrative duties including balancing a local budget. Over the past several decades, as budgets have tightened, local areas have struggled to maintain the delivery of basic services while attempting to spur economic growth. Local authorities have cut budgets, laid-­‐off employees, outsourced services, and, in some cases, consolidated or completely eliminated city services. As a result, some elected officials have embraced a role shift from administrator and deliverer of city services at the local level to becoming an activist, a legislator and innovative political entrepreneur at both the local and national levels. This new transformational local elected official endeavours to be all things to all people: an administrator providing constituent service, a legislator and activist developing and devising new policy in a new economy, a collaborative deal-­‐maker and a charismatic leader with vision and communication skills to successfully guide followers through the new economic terrain. This form of local leadership does not follow the same old script, it requires ‘out-­‐of-­‐the-­‐box’ thinking and the ability to bring people or groups of people together to tackle seemingly intractable issues that were previously not on the local agenda. ‘In short, new conditions require a new style of public leadership’ (Xxx, 2008, p. 50). The changing role of local leaders, whether they are politicians or entrepreneurs, is to now ‘do more than push, push, push for their proposals or for their conception of problems. They also lie in wait – for a window to open… their readiness combined with their sense for riding the wave and using the forces beyond their control contributes to success’ (Xxxxxxx, 2003, p. 181). The local leader in the globalisation era who wants to invigorate local economic development pursues several fronts: to name a few, lobbying central government (if possible), forming creative public-­‐private partnerships, sharing resources with other...

Political Leadership. For the reason that vaccine adoption inherently is a political act (as it governmentally-­‐regulated), there needs to be political commitment to the endeavor. Leaders, including ministers of health and finance, influence the decision and can determine if and when adoption takes place (224). In countries like Peru and Brazil, where vaccine laws and a budget line for immunization funding exist, adoption of vaccines is less challenging as it does not rely as much on political will around each specific vaccine (210, 228).
