Actors and institutions in local government

Abstract

Local government necessarily brings actors and institutions together. Perennial questions in the discipline consider in different ways the impact of actors on institutions and the impact of institutions on actors. This panel brings together several contributions that consider the interaction of actors and institutions in local government. It covers matters such as the links between civic engagement and rurality, elections, voting, and parties, deinstitutionalisation, political change and administrative reform, and the impact of gender on councillor roles in local government.
