Local government in Britain is often viewed as being bureaucratic
and impersonal. In America or France it can be genuinely local, and
permit small communities to determine their future and their
standards of basic public services. The quality and nature of local
government varies widely between different countries. A full
understanding of local government can only be gained by comparing
one country to another. This book draws together a range of
contributors who outline the structures and workings of local
government in England and Wales, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy,
Sweden, Canada and the US. The book provides students with chapters
that have a similar format in order to offer a framework for
systematic comparisons of the different case studies. The book also
includes a conclusion summarizing major differences and
relationships between the structures studied. Contributors include
J.A. Chandler, John Kingdom, M. McManus, M.C. Hunt, R.E. Spence,
A.R. Peters and Bernard Jones.
