Law, Localism and the Constitution: A Comparative Perspective

John Stanton

Local government affects us all. Wherever we live, there are locally elected councils tasked with representing people's interests in the running of the local area, providing public services and acting as a level of democratic governance within the broader constitutional structure of the state. This book explores and analyses the extent to which local government in the different parts of the UK is able to function effectively and democratically, drawing from local councillors' views and comparing the approaches adopted in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus other relevant jurisdictions.
