Description

Explore the historical shift in local government through Routledge's Half a Century of Municipal Decline. This book examines how local government, once expected to expand alongside the Welfare State following the Great Depression, faced unexpected challenges. While early twentieth-century trends suggested continued growth, the reality by 1985 was a severe crisis that questioned the very existence of local government. This unique work features contributions from eleven authors who analyze the reversal of previous trends and the political and economic upheavals that shaped this decline. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociology and history of municipal administration and social programs.
