Reviews

'One of the defining features of post-war Western development has been the rise of regional and local autonomy. How has the 2008 financial crisis intervened with long-term trends in subnational governance? This excellent collection brings together top scholars in the field to take up this question. Each contribution provides fresh thinking on enduring questions of territorial reform. This book is a must-read.' -- Liesbet Hooghe, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US, and European University Institute, Italy

‘The volume offers rich research ideas relating to the study of regional and local governance dynamics from a comparative perspective.’ -- Antonia Baraggia, Publius: The Journal of Federalism ‘I cannot help but enthuse about this book. Each of the chapters is well written. They are accessible for students but are also of value to researchers. The comprehensive literature reviews, mapping how the research in each topic area has evolved, reinforces pre-existing knowledge. Yet, the comparative nature of these reviews may introduce aspects previously unconsidered by those who study single countries.’ -- Alistair Jones, Journal of Urban Affairs ‘This book provides a great starting point for those wanting to think through the multiple research issues confronting local and regional government. Whether the focus is economic performance, public service management, reorganisation or public engagement, the various chapters provide up-to-date and insightful accounts on how things stand in light of the long-term impact of the financial crisis of 2007/8.‘ -- Gerry Stoker, University of Southampton, UK ‘One of the defining features of post-war Western development has been the rise of regional and local autonomy. How has the 2008 financial crisis intervened with long-term trends in subnational governance? This excellent collection brings together top scholars in the field to take up this question. Each contribution provides fresh thinking on enduring questions of territorial reform. This book is a must-read.‘ -- Liesbet Hooghe, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US, and European University Institute, Italy
