THE PARTNERSHIP IN THEORY AND PRACTICE.

The author discusses the relationship between central and local government in Great Britain as of April 1966, arguing in favor of reforms that would involve the reorganization of local structures, services for local officers, and local government advocacy by representative associations in central government. According to the author, policies involving national investments were often designed for the historical periods in which they were first implemented. Topics include perceptions that central government is superior to local government, the role of chief officers, politicians such as Richard Crossman, and economic planning.
