Saving Local Government - Joseph Drew - Bog

This book focuses squarely on the problem of saving local government in the context of extraordinary financial challenges being faced across the globe. Saving Local Government is written principally for practitioners and employs a ¿conversational¿ tone which makes complex theory both engaging and accessible. It augments world-best scholarship with Professor Joseph Drew¿s extensive practical experience in guiding local governments away from the brink of financial insolvency. It is thus a ¿must read¿ for local government executives, Mayors, Councillors and the regulators that oversee the sector.
In Saving Local Government Professor Drew also makes a number of important contributions to address significant gaps in the scholarly literature. In particular, the book includes extensive treatment of de-amalgamation, applied natural law philosophy, Aristotelian epistemology for evaluating public policy success, as well as alternatives to financial administration. The work is therefore also compelling reading for scholars.
