Whilst it has long been recognised that local authorities in these countries are often more autonomous than most other local authorities around the world, we still lack an integrated overview of leadership in Nordic local government, and the development of its top administrative management. This book ameliorates this lack of knowledge by providing a thorough, extensive and updated assessment of the role of municipal chief executive officers in the five Nordic states, as well as their interactions and relations with internal and external actors. Comparative in nature, it will appeal to all those interested in local and urban governance, public administration, public management, and leadership studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEva Marín Hlynsdóttir \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Iceland.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMorten Balle Hansen \u003c\/strong\u003eis\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eProfessor in Public Management, SDU University and Director of the Research program in Management, UCL University College, Denmark\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Cregård\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDag Olaf Torjesen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the Department of Political Science and Management, University of Agder, Norway.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiv Sandbe\u003c\/strong\u003erg is Lecturer in Public Administration at Åbo Akademi University, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 July 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNordic Council\/NordForsk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031600685\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nordic Council\/NordForsk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50805607170188,"sku":"9783031600685","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031600685.jpg?v=1781791384","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031600685","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
