There is the time-honoured ceremonial mayor watching over the keys of the city. But there also is the political boss ruthlessly governing his\/her ‘subjects’. We might also offer the streamlined university educated professional or the - ecutive committee leader promoted to a primus inter pares after long service in a political party. With this book we aim to describe and analyse the selection, daily life, networks and values of local top political leaders in seventeen European co- tries. The empirical basis for the investigation into town halls across Europe is a survey conducted mainly in 2003 and 2004 with mayors and corresponding top local political leaders. The data covering responses from more than 2,700 lead- 1 ers constitute a unique and rich material allowing descriptions and analyses pursuing a number of lines of inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2006-05-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783531145747\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-531-90005-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 386\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672538792076,"sku":"9783531145747","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783531145747.jpg?v=1776524179","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783531145747","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
