The Boundary Bargain Growth, Development, and the Future of City-County Separation

"Spicer makes a strong case that there are no simple solutions or reforms that would be acceptable to the various interests and that the options for reform also contain challenges, particularly as each case is different. The aims are clear and the book is guided by them throughout." - Christopher Stoney, Carleton University "...an excellent explanation of the history behind city-county separation. Suitable for students studying Canadian government... [with] portions of this book useful given regional governance problems in metropolitan areas in the US. Recommended." CHOICE
