From Local Government to Local Governance

Abstract

To refer to a shift over the last two decades from local government to local governance in Britain implies a recognition of two factors. First there has been a shift in the institutional structure of governing with a range of appointed bodies or ‘quangos’ gaining greater responsibility and prominence. Second there has been a change in the character of governing, a blurring of responsibilities, with appointed bodies and partnership organizations working alongside elected local authorities. Elected politicians and full-time local government bureaucrats have found themselves joined by a range of other actors. And major roles have developed for users, for interested citizens and for the private sector in this complex interplay of local actors These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
