Summary

"Local Government in Practice is a teaching resource that promotes active-learning pedagogies. It has been designed to place students into the position of decision-makers by introducing a series of 25 simulated cases. These are concise yet relatively complex policy and administrative challenges that are very similar to what people working in local government regularly confront. The cases are fictional, but each is preceded by an introduction that presents an evidence-based debate around the topic at hand, which frames the issue for the reader and provides context before reading the case. These fictionalized examples allow the authors to illustrate a wide range of dynamics that may be present in the policy making process. (Note also that numerous "Real World" case study boxes also appear throughout the book.)"--, Provided by publisher
