Recenzje

Local government plays a formative role in shaping the conditions of people's everyday lives. In England, the past decade or so has witnessed deep-seated transformation in local governments' powers and practices, rooted in particular in shifting relations with various financial actors, assets and attributes. Andy Pike proves an engaging and informed guide to this complex but crucial political-economic terrain.
