Coordes, Arizona State University, USA, Yseult Marique, University of Essex, UK and Geo Quinot, Stellenbosch University, South Africa ‘Even though cities around the world face similar problems, local government law scholarship usually focuses on cities in a single country. This excellent book pushes against the field’s parochialism, providing a penetrating comparison of how different countries respond when their municipalities go broke. Whether one agrees with its recommendations or not, Municipalities in Financial Distress is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in municipal finance, or in local government more broadly.’ – David Schleicher, Yale University, USA March 2025 c 326 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 1990 9 c £110.00 / c $155.00 eBook • Elgaronline On publication this Open Access title will be free to download on Elgaronline.
