Local government in the United Kingdom (Government beyond the centre)

'...Excellent...A comprehensive and accessible guide to British local government in the 1990s...I have just read the standard student text on local government for the decade.' Rod Rhodes, Local Government Studies This book provides a basic, straightforward and up to date introduction to British local government in clear and non-technical language. Recent years have seen local government become an issue of high political salience and continuing financial and structural changes promise to keep it centre stage for some time to come. Placing recent events in context, Local Government in the United Kingdom provides an ideal text for students encountering local government for the first time.
