Local Government and Democracy in Britain Hardback
by Neil Barnett, J. Chandler
Part of the Manchester University Press series
Hardback
Description
Local government in the UK is in crisis. It is now neither local in terms of the geography and populations of its principle units, nor does it truly govern in these areas.
As this book reveals, over the previous 200 years local government has moved from a system in which local interests held governance over localities to one in which central government and national and multi-national agencies such as corporate businesses hold governance over local and community decision-making.
These changes seriously undermine the important role that local government can play in liberal democracy in the UK.
The book explains the nature of local government today and asks if there is any possibility of change. -- .
