We are approaching the end of our book and our only remaining task is to summarise the main messages and future aims. As we outlined in the introduction, we wanted this book to contribute in particular to the literature interlinking crises and small municipalities. We wanted to explore, analyse, and discuss how crises are addressed in highly fragmented local government systems, with a significant part of the book dedicated to Czechia. Our motivations included the fact that, compared to literature published in the pre-pandemic period, little attention has been paid to small municipalities in the post-pandemic literature, although they were also impacted by the COVID-19 crisis and needed to cope with it. Then, almost immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic, some European countries were seriously affected by the crisis caused by migration from Ukraine. Somehow, public administration and public management literature seem to have forgotten the topic of small municipalities and their role in crises and in building resilience and robustness. In order to meet the goals outlined in the introduction to this book, we also needed to consider discussions and findings regarding the effects of fragmentation and consolidation in normal (non-crisis) times, because we wanted to discuss them in relation to our findings on small municipalities dealing with crises. The early chapters of this book summarised the existing knowledge outlining the impacts of fragmentation and consolidation in Europe and the research findings on the effects of local government fragmentation in normal situations in Czechia.
