Meer over het boek

Focusing on local politics, this book analyzes the impact of government policies on communities, highlighting who benefits or suffers from these decisions. Through a comparative study of Britain and the United States, it investigates the shifting roles of institutions and individuals within local political frameworks. First published in 1991, it emphasizes the influence of national, international, and historical contexts on the development of local governance and details the practicalities of local political engagement in both countries.
