Book Description
The purpose of this discussion paper is to set a framework for a new legislative foundation for local government in British Columbia, to explore the principles guiding new local government legislation, and to evaluate how the principles would translate into actual change. The paper first looks at the general needs, expectations, and responsibilities of citizens, local governments, and the provincial government. With this in mind, the paper explores each of the guiding principles of new local government legislation and presents hypothetical scenarios of how the principles could be applied. It also examines what application might mean for local governments.

Book Description
Contributors provide insights into key themes impacting local governance in two federations with much in common historically, culturally, and politically: Australia and Canada. These essays examine changes in the Australian and Canadian systems through four thematic lenses: citizen participation in government systems, the restructuring and reform of local governments, the use of performance measures and management systems in the administration of local governments, and the relations of local governments within higher levels of governments.
