The comprehensively revised second edition of this successful text provides an up-to-date analysis of the changing world of local politics in Britain. Substantial new sections have been added on local political parties, hung councils, the politics of non-elected local government, recent developments in privatisation, and the politics of the poll tax. The book now provides a systematic treatment of the Thatcher legacy in local politics, the philosophy and strategy which underpinned it and likely futures in the post-Thatcher era. Reviews of the 1st edition: ‘Should be read by anyone seeking to understand local government and its possible futures.’ – George Jones, Local Government Chronicle. ‘An excellent and stimulating introductory text.’ – Peter Mc Laverty, Sociological Review.
