by SueGoss (Author)
New forms of local governance require new ways of working and in this important new book, Sue Goss assesses the nature of the challenge and how individuals and organisations have responded. Drawing on a wide range of political and management theory and research and her own extensive experience, she provides the clearest picture yet of the emergence of new 'relationship organisations' and of their engagement with the new roles of citizens, public managers and local politicians.
