Change and development are going on all around us. On both an
international platform, as well as at the local governmental and
community level, governments, decision and policy makers constantly
strive to improve the world in which we live, seeking to make it
better and to improve quality of life. This book focuses on such
development in the context of localism in the UK. It strips the
principle of local sustainability down to its constituent parts and
considers the extent to which it can be said to be central to local
life. As part of this, it presents the case for the importance of
accountability and citizen participation in achieving objectives
aligned with sustainability, and illustrates the relationships that
these principles share. On this foundation, it evaluates local
government in the UK, as well as examples of community-led
regeneration initiatives and bodies, and seeks to determine both
the nature of their pursuit of sustainability and the extent to
which accountability and citizen participation play a part in that
pursuit. It shows that local sustainability is enhanced by
accountability and citizen participation; those principles ensuring
that local people can be central to the process. Whilst its
evaluations of local democratic systems in the UK reveal certain
issues as regards the extent to which this is reflected in
practice, it at least demonstrates an enthusiasm and awareness of
the important role that accountability and citizen participation
can play in the process of local sustainability. The book is aimed
at legal academics, with relevance also to students in law,
environmental politics and sustainable development, as well as
those working in government policy and political practice.
