A fresh examination of the relationship between two key issues in
the on-going debate on urban governance - leadership and community
involvement. It explores the nature of the interaction between
community involvement and political leadership in modern local
governance by drawing on empirical data gathered from case-studies
concerning cities in England, Germany, Greece, Italy, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, and Sweden. It presents
both a country specific and cross-cutting analysis of the
contributions that communities and leaders can make to more
effective local governance. These country specific chapters are
complemented by thematic, comparative chapters addressing
alternative forms of community involvement, types and styles of
leadership, multi-level governance, institutional restrictions and
opportunities for leadership and involvement, institutional
conditions underpinning leadership and involvement, and political
culture in cities. This up-to-date survey of trends and
developments in local governance moves the debate forward by
analysing modern governance with reference to theories related to
institutional theory, legitimation, and the way urban leadership
and community involvement compliment one another. This book will be
of great interest to students and scholars of politics and urban
governance, and to all those concerned with questions of local
governance and democracy.

Councillors are the essence of local representative democracy,
linking ordinary citizens and decision-makers in municipal arenas.
In cross-national perspective, and taking in countries from across
Europe, this book analyses the recruitment patterns, career, party
associations, role perceptions, and attitudes to democracy,
representation, and participation of local councillors. Matters
such as gender, parties, institutions, municipal reform, functions
in governance networks, and councillor influence are considered
using data collected in an international survey, covering some
12,000 members of the local political elite. Drawing on diverse and
eclectic literature, the contributions in this volume comprise a
comprehensive and revealing analysis of modern councillors.
