Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernising Local Government and Neighbourhood Management are policy initiatives which are seeking to reinvigorate local democracy and ensure that government is more responsive to local needs. They could mark profound changes in the way our communities are governed. But, what are the practical implications? Drawing upon research findings of current practice and the authors' direct experience, this report addresses the following questions: what is the relationship between the modernization of government project, the reforms to local government and area-based initiatives?; what needs to be done to ensure that these emerging relationships are brought together in a clear and coherent manner at national, regional and local levels?; how do we define the local community and what are the issues surrounding its representation in emerging government structures?; and what political and practical problems do these devolved apparoaches pose for traditional local government structures?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Local Government fills an important gap by combining an examination of the origins of modern local government in the UK with the changes which have taken place in recent years. The book traces the development of local government from the nineteenth century to the present day, examining the growth of local authorities' functions as a response to problems posed by urbanisation and industrialisation. The study looks at the gradual increase of services in the period before the Second World War and examines the qualitative and quantitative changes which occurred as a result of the establishment of the welfare state. Finally, it analyses the changes which have taken place as a result of the radical shift in government policy since 1979 and notes the decline in the scope and status of local government which have occurred.
