Prefects, Governors and Commissioners: Territorial Representatives of the State in Europe by Gildas Tanguy
English | PDF | 2021 | 469 Pages | ISBN : 3030593959 | 5.1 MB
“Tanguy and Eymeri-Douzans have assembled a timely collection of papers on prefects and their equivalents in Europe. This book fills a gap in the literature, demonstrating that even countries favouring decentralization also have forms of control from the centre. It is even more interesting by its anchoring in administrative history and the patterns of diffusion of the prefectoral role.” – B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh
