About the Book

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.

Table of Contents:
Central-local relations since the Layfield Report; intergovernmental relations in Scotland post-devolution; central grants and local spending in Britain; guide democracy or multi-level governance? New trends in regulatory regimes in central-local relations in the Nordic countries; central government over local government - a Western European comparison; central-local financial relations in South Africa; between rhetoric and reality - does the 2001 White Paper reverse the centralizing trend in Britain?
