This accessible text summarizes and explains the structure ofBritish local government, focusing on key changes introduced duringthe Thatcher/Major years and initiatives implemented by the currentLabour administration. While offering a detailed discussion ofthese policies, the book examines how local government has soughtto respond in a proactive way to a range of important social,political and economic changes. Readers are introduced to local government as a lively and complexsite of political engagement. British local government is set in awider political, social and theoretical context. Throughout, theauthors argue that the attempt by the Thatcher and Majoradministrations of 1979-97 to push local government into the roleof merely administrating centrally defined policies was largelyshort-circuited. While outlining and explaining these changes andtheir effects, the authors argue that far from being defencelessvictims of central government, local authorities devised numerousstrategies to protect their independent policy-making role. Theauthors go on to examine the proposals for change introduced by theLabour government and assess their implications for localgovernment in the twenty-first century. This book will be essential reading for lecturers and students oflocal government, politics, public policy and urban policy, as wellas practitioners.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the structure, finance, management and democratic framework for local government in Britain. This new edition has been substantially rewritten to encompass the many changes to the structure and function of the system since 2000, including developments flowing from the 2007 Local Government Act. The study discusses how, during the Blair years, local governments came to be seen once again as centrally important institutions within Britain’s political system. However, they are not seen as organizations that can function as separate agencies, undertaking all their duties "in-house." They are now required to work in partnership with the private, public and voluntary sectors to deliver local services and represent local interests. It is further argued that, for the first time in over a century, the barriers between civil servants and senior local government officers are being eroded as central government begins to incorporate leading local government officials into its decision-making processes. This established textbook also offers a comparative focus by showing how the British system differs from the structures for local governance in Western Europe and the United States.
