government since the election of New Labour in 1997. Modern Local
Government: " provides the relevant historical context for the
predicted 'death of local government' in the Thatcher era "
explains the New Labour agenda for local government and the
components which make up local governance in England today " offers
substantive discussion of: decision-making; community strategies;
performance measures; procurement, privatization, partnerships; the
role of e-government; and standards and corruption " analyzes the
implications of reform at different spatial scales - from the local
to the regional - and offers a rich discussion of the 'new
localism' " presents an overview of the role of European Union
legislation in areas like employment, environment and competition.
" concludes with a consideration of the possible futures for local
government including local area agreements, local public service
boards and choice. Modern Local Government is a unique assessment
of local government reform from the perspective of both local and
central government, which is fully informed by an analysis of the
role of the European Union. It will be the key resource for all
students of local government in planning and related disciplines.
