Shortlisted for the SLSA-Hart Socio-Legal Book Prize 2011 Governing, Independence and Expertise tells the story of the not-for-profit housing sector in England, focusing on its representative body, the National Housing Federation. The story tells of how the Federation and associations influenced their own space of governing through deploying discourses of independence and expertise; how being governed, and governing, become, at times, one and the same. The National Federation of Housing Societies was born in 1935 out of the apparent failure of housing societies, associations and charitable trusts to tackle the 'problem of the slums'. Its story was a familiar one - organisations have often set up collective structures to facilitate intervention in government. Viewed historically the success of the project is, nevertheless, remarkable, given that the housing association sector is now a major force in social housing provision. Moreover housing associations have pioneered many programmes which are central to our 'modernised' welfare state – such as private finance, independence and entrepreneurialism. Through the story of the Federation, the book examines the role of non-governmental actors in mechanisms of governing, engaging contemporary debates about public services and the nature of the 'social' - the limits of the role of the not-for-profit sector; the impact of private funders; and the disappearance of the notion of 'public'.

"Public services, especially in urban areas, are a pressing concern. Following India's landmark constitutional amendment in 1992-93, it was expected that local governments would be more able, responsive and accountable, and public service delivery more effective. Both scholarly and other approaches emphasise two routes for this - formal architecture of decentralisation (laws) and people's participation. However, a quarter century later, both everyday experience and literature suggest that local accountability is low and service delivery is poor despite the presence of a legal framework and people's participation. Why is this the case? This book provides an answer by opening up the 'black box of local governance' through studying specifics of administrative procedures, organisational structure, staffing, and interactions with other levels of government. In these seemingly stodgy contents of the government black box, the book locates the explanation of how and why some city governments can effectively deliver services and others cannot. It examines the various aspects of city governments as "decentralised capacity" and traces differences in local service delivery - street lighting, water supply, sewerage, drainage, roads, and other services - to differences in decentralised capacity. It makes the argument through a comparative study of states with city governments as units of analysis (23 city governments in the three states of Gujarat, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu). The work looks closely at subnational variation and uses the comparative approach both for structuring the empirical material well as for theorisation. Specifically, it finds that while there is considerable interstate variation in capacity of city government and decentralised service delivery, there is far less intrastate variation on these matters. Methodologically, this enables the analysis to locate the larger explanation within a framework of state-local political and administrative relations. It explores details of the "policy process" from national legislative intent (constitutional amendment) to accompanying state laws to administrative rules for organising government. It also examines the designing of policy instruments against potential "policy drift" through which implementation is at odds with original intent"--

This text provides a comprehensive introduction to local government and urban politics in contemporary Western Europe. It is the first book to map and explain the significant processes of change characterizing local government systems and to place these in a genuinely comparative context. Students are introduced to the traditional structures and institutions of local government and shown how these have been transforming in response to increased economic and political competition, new ideas, institutional reform and the Europeanization of public policies in Europe. At the books core is the perceived transition from local government to local governance. This key development is traced thematically across a w

Local Energy Governance: Opportunities and Challenges for Renewable and Decentralised Energy in France and Japan examines the extent of the energy transition taking place at a local level in France and Japan, two countries that share ambitious targets regarding the reduction of GHG emissions, their share of renewable energy and their degree of market liberalization. This book observes local energy policies and initiatives and applies an institutional and legal analysis to help identify barriers but also opportunities in the development of renewable energies in the territories. The book will highlight governance features that incubate energy transition at the local level through interdisciplinary contributions that offer legal, political, sociological and technological perspectives. Overall, the book will draw conclusions that will also be informative for other countries aiming at promoting renewable energies. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and energy governance.

RE-MIXING THE CITY - Towards Sustainability and Resilience? There is nothing permanent except change. (Heraclitus) Cities worldwide are facing rapid social, economic, environmental, technological and cultural changes such as: rapid urbanisation, aging of society, security issues, housing emergency, new solutions on mobility, integration of immigrants, food and water shortage, etc. Especially in times of economic crisis and demographic changes in cities, it is necessary to think about how to best handle what we have, and therefore "RE-MIXING THE CITY" is a challenge to manage and re-combine the elements which make our modern cities in order to better respond to change.

Over the past decade, the study of cities and regions has been marked by an increased concern with institutions and their relationship to economic and political change. This 'institutional turn' has been particularly prominent in studies of local and regional economic governance. This book brings together internationally renowned authors from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to take critical stock of the field, assess the merits and limits of the 'institutional turn', and examine directions for future work. Drawing together a range of theoretical and empirical contributions, the book seeks to move forward the debate on institutions and their relationship to local and regional governance. The individual chapters examine the theoretical underpinnings of institutionalist work, the critical relationship between institutions, collaboration and local and regional economic performance, as well as questions of local and regional economic governance and its politics.
