From recession to renewal - The impact of the financial crisis on public services and local government (Paperback)

This topical book examines and debates the challenges posed - on a local, European, and global level - by the imperative to balance a fiscal need for smaller public expenditure with a social need for strong governance and protection of the most vulnerable in UK society. Leading academics in the field of local governance contribute to a diverse set of analyses on the impact of the financial crisis. From Recession to Renewal offers academic debate and challenging questions on common assumptions, such as the role of government and the juxtaposing needs of fiscal cut backs and increasing social needs for services. The book includes case studies/practical examples from a range of public services. Lessons from the front-line of service delivery are analyzed. It provides a history and ideological context for the financial crisis and debates the doctrine of government and governance.
