Local government in the UK is in crisis. It is now neither local in
terms of the geography and populations of its principle units, nor
does it truly govern in these areas. As this book reveals, over the
previous 200 years local government has moved from a system in
which local interests held governance over localities to one in
which central government and national and multi-national agencies
such as corporate businesses hold governance over local and
community decision-making. These changes seriously undermine the
important role that local government can play in liberal democracy
in the UK. The book explains the nature of local government today
and asks if there is any possibility of change. -- .
