In cross-national perspective, and taking in countries from across Europe, this book analyses the recruitment patterns, career, party associations, role perceptions, and attitudes to democracy, representation, and participation of local councillors. Matters such as gender, parties, institutions, municipal reform, functions in governance networks, and councillor influence are considered using data collected in an international survey, covering some 12,000 members of the local political elite. Drawing on diverse and eclectic literature, the contributions in this volume comprise a comprehensive and revealing analysis of modern councillors. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer VS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-03-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658018566\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-01857-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401582592140,"sku":"9783658018566","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658018566.jpg?v=1775795180","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783658018566","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
