Originally published in 1981 but now with a new preface, this
volume provided the first detailed comparative analysis of how
local authorities in the UK and W. Germany faced up to the
challenge of trying to help local industry and improve employment
prospects. Based on the results of case-studies the book considers
the powers and resources available to local authorities and
examines how the authorities are organized for this type of
economic activity. The authors' analysis of the interplay of
political and administrative factors will be particularly important
for student and professionals in comparative public policy and
public finance. The study shows how economic policy making in local
government is constrained both by the higher levels of government
in both countries and by the conditions in the economy operating
both locally and nationally.
