Reviving local democracy offers a vivid and persuasive critical
examination of New Labour's programme for the modernisation of
local government, providing a balanced view of the democracy and
participation debate. Since 1997, the Blair government has sought
to mobilise popular participation through local referenda, new
political structures, electoral reform, and the creation of
powerful new elected mayors. Through these mechanisms it is hoped
that the lack of public interest and persistently low election
turnouts will be overcome. The book draws on a wide range of new
survey data to relate the crisis of local politics and governance
to wider changes in the political culture. The author goes on to
evaluate the government's proposals to reverse decline, asking
whether this programme of reform is likely to succeed. With the aid
of a series of recent surveys of both public and councillor
opinion, and the successful blending of historical and empirical
analysis, she offers an assessment of the realities which the
democratic renewal project will have to confront in its
implementation. The book is topical and timely, and highly
accessible, and will appeal to students, those involved in local
government, and anyone concerned to see local government become
more representative, responsive, and open to popular participation.
