Excerpt from L'Administration Locale de l'Angleterre
L'impulsion qui, depuis une vingtaine d'années, porte les représentants de la pensée française à étendre leurs investigations au delà des frontières pour étudier, dans toutes les parties du monde, les diverses manifestations de l'activité humaine, est un des faits qui caractérisent le plus heureusement notre époque. Cette tendance à laquelle nos littérateurs obéissent à l'heure actuelle, en allant chercher, dans le nord de l'europe, de nouvelles sources d'inspirati0ns, est plus remarquable encore quand elle s'exerce dans le domaine des sciences politiques et sociales.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Referencing the book, the author provides an examination of how and why local English government was reformed into a representative democratic system designed to give greater control to the people. Initially focusing on the traditional roles of the township during the Anglo-Saxon period and feudalism, the book examines how the role of the magistrate within communities developed alongside that of the common justice of the peace. The author places great emphasis on the way that individual and social reform movements of the 19th century were a catalyst for the expansion of local powers through the development of a central board that enforced and extended government representation into rural regions. However, the author also details significant later changes to the power structure in the late 20th century that led to a further expansion of local authority, including the enfranchisement of women. This book is a valuable text for anyone interested in the democratic evolution of governance in rural communities.
