• catalog abstract ""'There are all sorts of players on the local pitch jostling for position where previously the local council was the main game in town', observed Prime Minister Tony Blair on the emerging new system of local governance." "This pioneering book seeks to identify many of the new and some of the old players on the local pitch. It examines the way elected councils and appointed public agencies work together (and sometimes fail to work together) with business and voluntary organisations to deliver services and shape decisions which vitally affect local communities. Along the way many key questions are addressed: How far are non-elected agencies accountable to the public? How can local people influence the decisions which affect them? How can business and voluntary organisations be brought into a real partnership with the public sector at local level? Does this emerging new system of local governance involve a third way between local bureaucracy and the free market? Can it achieve the Prime Minister's ideal of 'joined-up government' or will its sheer complexity result in chaos and confusion?" "Paying full attention to all aspects of the new world of local governance and the theoretical and political debates that lie behind its structure and practice, Local Governance in Britain will be essential reading for student, practitioner and active citizen alike."--Jacket.".
