Drawing on contributions from a mix of local authority managers, journalists and academics, this book combines practical guidance and advice with lively debate on the major challenges facing local government managers - structural re-organization, changes in internal management, compulsory competitive tendering and contracting out. Divided into seven sections, the book looks at the political context and then examines the principal issues in finance, reorganization, management, key policy concerns and law and legislation.
