The first critical study of the 1985 treaty that guarantees the status of local self-government The 1985 European Charter of Local Self-Government is claimed to be the first and only international treaty to secure the autonomy of local government within states and to set standards for subsidiarity at the local level. With a principal focus on the institutions and procedures adopted for its interpretation and enforcement, this volume is the first serious critique of the Charter's impact. C. M. G. Himsworth analyses the text of the Charter, traces its historical emergence and explains how it has been applied and interpreted throughout Europe. The volume includes discussion of the Charter's impact on the UK, taking account of the 'Local and regional democracy in the United Kingdom' report published by the Council of Europe in March 2014. Locating the Charter's own history within the broader recent history of the Council of Europe and the European Union, the book closes with an assessment of the Charter's future prospects. C. M. G. Himsworth is Emeritus Professor of Administrative Law at the University of Edinburgh, where he has taught, researched and written on public law since 1974. During the period 1997-2013 he was the UK member of the Group of Independent Experts of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe. He is the co-author of Scotland's Constitution: Law and Practice (3rd edn, 2015). Cover image: Town Hall at la Ferte sous Jouarre, France by Morphart.
