Summary

This work examines the relationship between central governments and local authorities in the UK as well as a range of European states and South Africa. Specifically, it is concerned with the changing regulatory frameworks through which central governments seek to exercise control and influence over the activities of local authorities in a variety of different countries. As such, the book considers the legal, administrative and financial frameworks within which local authorities operate as well as the influence of performance management systems on local authority autonomy.
