Sinopsis
Excerpt from Local and Central Government: A Comparative Study of England, France, Prussia, and the United States
And constitutional history; and we are inclined to regard the central power as something imposed upon the localities often without their consent, and for centuries extending its influence and authority at their cost. Since the passing of the first Reform Act, the enlargement of the sphere of state action, and the multifarious character of the work brought within it, have compelled the central government either to create new local authorities, or to extend the powers of those already in existence. But even when the national administration was most centralised in England, and local government was most decrepit, the local authorities never ceased to discharge some duties; and so to-day they exercise two kinds of powers.

Excerpt from Local and Central Government: A Comparative Study of England, France, Prussia, and the United States
In all European nations, whatever may have been the previous course of their constitutional history, the persistent and rapid growth of the functions of the state, and the constant assumption of new and onerous duties and responsibilities in the last century, have rendered some attempts at decentralisation and some grants of self- government absolutely necessary, if the national administration is to be carried on with success. Experience, ancient and modern alike, has shown conclusively that a completely centralised bureaucracy - that is, a self-recruiting body of officials working from a single centre, and responsible only to itself - cannot carry on indefinitely the administration of a large country; it tends to ignore the varieties of local conditions, to become stereotyped in its ideas and methods, and overburdened; and sooner or later a breakdown becomes inevitable.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comparative study of local government in four countries: England, France, Prussia, and the United States. It examines the historical development of local government in each country, the powers and responsibilities of local authorities, and the relationship between central and local government. The author demonstrates that, despite the different political and administrative traditions of these countries, there are some common challenges facing local government today, such as the need for greater efficiency and accountability, and the growing importance of citizen participation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
