Subnational Government - The French Experience (Hardcover)

With globalization and the EU, local and regional government in member states have experienced dramatic changes in the way that they operate, the responsibilities that they have and their links with the hierarchy of government organization. France has proved to be no exception to these general trends although it has adapted to them in a specifically French way. John Loughlin presents an overview of the theory and practice of subnational government in France and a detailed examination of the outcomes.
