What is Leadership At The Apex : Politicians and Administrators in Western Local Governments about?

<p>Although the relationship between elected officials and appointed executives has often been viewed as a struggle between master and servant-with disagreements as to which individuals occupy which roles-Poul Erik Mouritzenâs and James Svaraâs comparison of city governments in fourteen countries reveals more interdependence and shared influence than conflict over control.</p><p>Mouritzen and Svara bring local government to the forefront, emphasizing the sophisticated level of city management in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Their findings lead to a revision of the general view concerning the boundaries of public administration. <i>Leadership at the Apex</i> illustrates in practical ways how the democratic control of government and professional administration can coexist without undermining the logic or integrity of each other.</p>
