Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. New Edition. Paperback. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. Very slight crease to back cover. This readable and complete account of the history, structure, financing and working of local governments is written for citizens, for students and for local government officers. it explains what the local authorities are, what they do, what services they offer, what responsibilities they have and how their everyday acts of government affect each and every one of us. The elections of the various councils from parish to gigantic county, the organization of departments and committees, and the procedures at meetings are among the many aspects of the system dealt with, and there is information of considerable topical interest on the impact of parties and pressure groups in local government. This third edition has been fully revised and updated, and includes a balanced and useful discussion of recent central government strategies, the abolition of the GLC, rate-capping legilsation and the current threats posed to the traditional role of local government. The author, who has taught the subject for some time, has written a critical and thorough account of a subject that we ignore at the peril of our democratic rights. 364 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
