Local Partnerships and Social Exclusion in the European Union New Forms of Local Social Governance

Based on in-depth, cross-national research from areas across Europe it provides a uniquely authoritative account of the complexities of policy development in the EU, and will be invaluable to researchers in European studies, politics, and economics.Geddes, Mike is the author of 'Local Partnerships and Social Exclusion in the European Union New Forms of Local Social Governance' with ISBN 9780415239226 and ISBN 0415239222.
