This chapter analyses the roles of mayors in building governance coalitions (or city regimes), bringing together relevant actors in efforts to meet major challenges facing their communities. What role, if any, do European mayors in cities of varying size, and in different national local government systems in local governance coalitions aimed at solving major local and regional issues? In the chapter the patterns of interdependence characteristic for various types of issues are analysed, and the role, that mayors may or may not play in building coalitions between the various relevant actors, is investigated. This serves as the basis for subsequently looking into the success of these mayoral activities. Important issues here are whether the roles of mayors and their chances of being successful vary across different issue domains or across different national local government systems and are different for appointed, indirectly and directly elected mayors.
