Description

Local Governance in Western Europe provides a comprehensive introduction to local government and urban politics in contemporary Western Europe. Peter John maps and explains the significant processes of change characterizing local government systems and places these in a genuinely comparative context. This unique book introduces the traditional structures and institutions of local government, showing how these have been transforming in response to: increased economic and political competition; new ideas; institutional reform; the Europeanization of public policy At the books core is the perceived transition from local government to local governance. This key development is traced thematically across a wide range of West European States including: Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
