QUANGOs and Local Government A Changing World

Recent years have seen a major transformation in the way that local communities are governed. There is now an appointed world of local governance sitting alongside elected local government. Many appointed bodies (popularly known as QUANGOs) are seen, from the local government perspective, as 'domain intruders' and are often viewed with resentment and suspicion.

This publication seeks to develop understanding of the changing world of local governance and thus contribute to wider debates. The impact of these changes will continue to be felt for many years to come - whoever is in government. Contributors: Mike Connolly, Guy Daly, Jean Easton, Steve Leach, Barry Loveday, David Prior and Chris Skelcher.
