Local Governance in Britain by Robert Leach

Contemporary local governance in Britain comprises a complex network of organisations working in partnership to formulate policies to address local needs and issues.

This book provides a systematic assessment of the key development issues and debates that are shaping local governance now situating these in their historical context.
'[An] excellent, clearly-focused book that genuinely takes students beyond the narrowly institutional approach to local government' - Neil McGarvey, University of Strathclyde
