The Local Government Act 2000 has transformed the way in which
local politics operates within local authorities. Local councillors
have had to adjust to the introduction of elected mayors, cabinet
government and scrutiny committees, and cope with a range of other
new initiatives. This book is a unique attempt to provide a
coherent analysis of the impact of these changes on the world of
local politics. The book provides a comprehensive review of the
operation of politics in local government, including the impact of
national and local political parties on the behaviour of party
groups in local authorities, the way party groups interact with
each other, the changing role of local political leadership and the
relationship of local politicians with senior council officers. The
changing role of local politics in Britain Is essential reading for
undergraduate and postgraduate students and their teachers on local
government, politics, public policy and public administration
courses, as well as officers in local authorities who wish to gain
a deeper understanding of the political environment in which they
work.
