Why do some countries appear to be far more centralized than
others? In some countries local government has responsibility for a
wide range of public services, while in others these services are
delivered by national and other non-local bodies. Moreover national
government oversees the operation of local government with varying
degrees of stringency. In addition, local politicians in some
countries seem to have greater influence over their national
counterparts than those in others. The answer to this question can
be found in the distinctive patterns of development experienced in
southern and northern Europe. Differences in national-local
relations also have direct implications for patterns of
policy-making at the local level. This book examines the legal and
political bases of relationships between national and local
government in Britain, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, and
Spain, and assesses the causes and consequences of differences in
such relationships.
