In the wake of many decades of increasing centralization, localism has been making a decided comeback in recent years. This book explores the development of localism as a new mode of statecraft and its implications for the everyday practice of citizenship. Jane Wills highlights the importance of civic infrastructure to effective engagement of citizens in local decision making, looks at the development of community organizing, neighborhood planning, and community councils, and positions this turn to the local in relationship to the longer geopolitical history of the British state.

Industry Reviews

"It is brilliant news that our ongoing campaigns about the need to strengthen local democracy has been recognised and supported by such an influential voice as Prof Wills. We would urge all to read this book regardless of who you are." Cllr Ken Browse, chair of the National Association of Local Councils
"This book makes an important contribution to the emerging literature on localism and its implications for changing state-society relationships and the location of power and control." Urban Geography
"Localism is now a highly influential discourse in contemporary English politics. Jane Wills goes beyond the burgeoning advocacy and commentary to provide a thorough-going and subtle analysis of its qualities. A vital read for scholars, policy-makers, practitioners and activists." John Tomaney, University College London
