In recent decades there has been increasing historical interest in
various aspects of local urban politics, resulting in a much better
understanding of the recruitment and socio-economic characteristics
of municipal leadership and the exercise of power at a local level.
However, much less is known about the highly important offices and
office-holders standing at the ceremonial, political and executive
head of towns and cities. Through a comparative analysis of
mayoralty since1800, this volume explores the characteristics of
the office in relation to such issues as the constitutional
position of mayors, their ceremonial and executive roles, their
representational status in relation to local, regional and central
authority, and their public visibility, which at various times has
been used to highlight or blur issues of race, gender, politics or
religion within a community. Drawing on examples from contrasting
national contexts in Eastern and Western Europe, and North America,
and with contributions from both historians and political
scientists, this book will be welcomed as an important step in
providing a much fuller international picture of the development
and nature of urban governance.
