Having taught local governance for 15 years, I was pleased when this book was first published. It is so difficult to find good resources that aren′t also covering state government. I especially appreciate the inclusion of role and purpose of citizen engagement as a fundamental addition to political and administrative functions. -- Margaret Stout * Review *
This text provides students with much of the classic and recent research on local government management in a condensed and easily readable format appropriate for both graduate and undergraduate students. -- Samuel B. Stone * Review *
