Explaining local government : local government in Britain since 1800 / J. A. Chandler
Livre
Edited by Manchester University Press - 2007
"Explaining local government uniquely presents a history of local government in Britain from 1800 to the present day. The study explains how the institution evolved from a structure that appeared to be relatively free from central government interference to, as John Prescott observes, 'one of the most centralised systems of government in the Western world'." "The book is accessible to A-level and undergraduate students as an introduction to the development of local government in Britain but also balances values and political practice to provide a unique explanation, using primary research, of the evolution of the system."--BOOK JACKET
