The theory and practice of local government reform

‘Structural reform has been one of the most important, and yet one of the most neglected, aspects of modern local government. This book represents the first attempt, since the early seventies, at providing a comprehensive account of both the theory and practice of structural reform in local government in developed countries. Using recent policy experience from seven different countries,the authors present seminal theoretical perspectives on structural reforms inlocal governance and the policy implications deriving from them. Written by well-known scholars of local government from around the world, this volume is a“must-read” for all academics, practitioners, students and policymakers.’
