Modernising British Local Government by John Stewart
Labour's modernisation programme for local government offers significant new opportunities especially in terms of the powers and duties in respect of community well-being and of local authorities' own role in community leadership. But there are also many questions about the effectiveness of the reforms and, in particular, their impact on democracy, accountability and local autonomy, argues John Stewart in this critical assessment of the challenges and prospects for British local government in the 2000s.
'Modernising British Local Government is a well informed and highly readable assessment of the programme of local government reforms introduced by the UK Labour government between 1997 and 2003.. an important contribution that deserves careful consideration by local government practitioners, elected members, ministers and civil servants'. - Steve Martin, Local Government Studies
JOHN STEWART is Emeritus Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Birmingham. His many books include The Nature of British Local Government and Management in the Public Domain.
