Description
Summary:"This book provides a balance-sheet of what changes in organisational forms, roles, relationships and approaches actually seem to make the new local governance work effectively. It stresses the importance of new approaches to organisational and network learning but also of unlearning old habits. It also warns against attempts to over-control complex processes of change and the extent to which politicians, citizens and organised interests need also to learn to govern in new ways."--BOOK JACKET.
