Intergovernmental relations, defined and in correlation with the FIFA 2010 world cup

Intergovernmental relations refers to the interactions and relationships between all levels of government. To ensure the most successful possible outcome and best service delivery. For instance, for the 2010 FIFA world cup tournament, which was held in the South Africa. All spheres of government were bound by the guarantees, which was signed by the national government, to FIFA. Even the cities which were not host cities had to be part of the intergovernmental relations, because they had to lend a helping hand to the host cities, and also other spheres of government. But the main intergovernmental relations were focused on the host cities, the provinces where those cities are in, and also the national government. The main issues that needed to be sorted out and focus had to be placed on things such as housing, transport, security, stadiums and all types of necessary arrangements. One sphere of government would never have been able to up hold the guarantees which was briefly mentioned in the previous sentence. 

Cooperative government, defined and in correlation with the FIFA 2010 world cup

Cooperative government refers to the fact that, the whole task is broken up in to pieces, and divided between spheres of government. Which will eventually make a whole. It is like building a puzzle, each part of government is given a piece to complete and eventually, when all the pieces are put together it will make a whole. The intent with this way of doing things, are that of which, to minimize corruption and also to let one group of people put their entire focus on one task. This will ensure the best possible outcome. For the 2010 FIFA world cup, there were structures put in place for the managing, overseeing and co-ordination between all the spheres. It was a hefty task to complete, but the South African government, did a swell job in uniting and completing this task. Making history with the event.
