Description: "Based on the author's knowledge and experience, The Nature of British Local Government provides a broad-ranging analysis of the role of British local government, its methods of working and its historical and contemporary context. John Stewart argues that much past writing has presented local government as if it were a uniform institution.

While recognising that there are uniformities, the author stresses the diversity that is to be found in the politics and management of local authorities."--BOOK JACKET.
