This new study examines the relationship between two key issues in
the on-going debate on urban governance- leadership and community
involvement.
This book explores the nature of the interaction between community
involvement and political leadership in modern local governance.
Drawing on empirical data gathered from case-studies concerning
cities in England, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Poland, and Sweden, the analysis offers both a
country specific and cross-cutting analysis of the contributions
that communities and leaders can make to more effective local
governance. These country specific chapters are complemented by
thematic, comparative chapters addressing alternative forms of
community involvement, types and styles of leadership, multi-level
governance, institutional restrictions and opportunities for
leadership and involvement, institutional conditions underpinning
leadership and involvement, and political culture in cities. This
up-to-date survey of trendsand developments in local governance
moves the debate forward by analyzing modern governance with
reference to theories related to institutional theory,
legitimation, and the way urban leadership and community
involvement compliment one another.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
politics and urban governance, and to all those concerned with
questions of local governance and democracy.
