Conclusion. 330 $aLeading Local Government: The Role of Directly Elected Mayors is a timely and critical book that examines the erratic rise and uncertain future of the directly elected mayor in the context of English local governance. Written principally for local government practitioners as well as for those with an academic interest in public leadership, the book asks whether elected mayors offer a new and reinvigorated form of local leadership, whether for individual towns and cities or for wider groups of combined authorities at the regional level. Built on original primary research conducted with mayors, elected representatives and a range of public sector managers, the book offers a fresh perspective that recognises mayoral achievements in some areas - including economic development - but finds that mayors do not enjoy widespread public endorsement and do not represent devolution of power in any meaningful sense. Above all, the book argues that elected mayors do not represent democratic renewal in a country which remains highly centralized. Using an historical account of early local government leaders together with international comparisons from the United States and Europe, the authors present the argument that, twenty years into the mayoral experiment, the mayoral initiative has so far failed to match the aspirations of central government for a new and effective form of local leadership. 410 0$aEmerald points. 606 $aMayors$zGreat Britain$xPowers and duties 606 $aMayors$zGreat Britain$xElection 606 $aPolitical Science$xPolitical Process$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aRegional government$2bicssc 615 0$aMayors$xPowers and duties. 615 0$aMayors$xElection. 615 7$aPolitical Science$xPolitical Process$xGeneral. 615 7$aRegional government. 676 $a352.042 700 $aFenwick$b John$01665030 702 $aJohnston$b Lorraine 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806876303321 996 $aLeading local government$94023434 997 $aUNINA
