Local government reform: a comparative analysis of advanced anglo-American countries

This book considers local government reform in a comparative perspective in advanced Anglo-American countries over the past two decades. The framework for the analysis focuses on the structural, functional, financial, jurisdictional and organizational/managerial pillars of municipal reform in Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Ireland, the United States and Canada. The emphasis on these English-speaking common law democracies, which share a great many characteristics, facilitates an analysis of the essential features of local government reform programs and the common factors driving them.
